THE HTNDLEYs N THE WEST.

Although Howard L. Hindley, for
mer Vermont newspaper man, has been
on the Pacific coast but few months
he has gone ahead rapidly through his
ability and energy, having now been Sc
lected secretary of the industrial in
surance commission of the state of
Washington to administer the work
mems compensation act. Mr.. Hindley's
legislative work in Vermont fitted him
well to follow similar line in Wash
ington. and the latter brought him the
position which he now assumes. His
many Vermont friends both in and out
of the newspaper profession are pleased
to note his advancement, which has been
rapid but no more rapid than he merits.
None the less notable has been the prog
ress made by his brother, William J.
Hindley. who was Congregational
preacher in a small Canadian town only
short time ago, and who, following
Editor Hindley westward, has become
mayor of Spokane under the commits
sion form of government. The Hindley
pair make hustling combination, and

but / am in the house most of the

So they had big windows. Before

shutters put up. The family's first
night In their new home was cele-

dow shades, one white, the other dark
green, which served as background
for two pairs Of curtains, one of silk,
the other Of lace. On the third day

day he found man tinkering with the
