J. W. Spangler, Who Knew His
HilUboro as a Boy, Tells of Ole
OFFICIAL IN SEATTLE BANK
Chronicler Spangler Tells of Ole
Hanson and His Reign
J. W. Spangler, Vice President of
the Seattle National Bank, and
well known to financial men all
over the Northwest, is tin- author
of "And It Came to Pass," a parable-truth,
touching on Seattle's
ilivcrtiseiueiit a few Weeks ago.
"Jimmy" Spangler is a former
llillsboro boy, bis father having
been pastor of the M. K. Church
in the good old days over a quar
ter of a century ago when Jim
was just a boy scout in the mak
ing. Since those days Spangler
has risen in the financial world,
and today is an oflieial in one of
Seattle's strongest banking hous
es. That he has read his ISihlu
goes without saying, and the pre
diction I Hal .iiinuiy would no
something "aw fill" -made by
Hillsboro's old ladies away hack
in the eighties, has come true, lb:
has and here it is, notw ithstand
iug it is signed with the Spangler
spelled feet lirst:
"And it came to pass that the
city of Seattle which is by the
Sound called Paget, waxed strong
and nourished as a green bay tree
and tin inhabitants thereof grew
and the city became mighty be
cause of its people. And many
ships were bnilded within the
gates of the city, even ships for
the nation.
"And behold, there came to the
eitv inanv workmen to fashion
the ships because of the great
need of them.
"And there came also a few
men called 'radicals' who soutlht
to set the workmen against their
employers, and against the gov
ernment and the chosen rulers
thereof.
"And much mischief was done
bv the radicals who inflamed the
workmen saying, 'Ye are poorly
paid, why will ye toil with your
Imiuls for so paltry a recompense.
Darken unto us. refuse to labor
until your employers increase
vour stipend.
"And many of the laborers
heard the injunction of the radi
cals and wot not that the radicals
devised to overthrow the govern
ment and its rulers and do vio
lence to all in authority. And ma-
nv more did hear the radicals and
divine. I their hidden purpose, but
feared to raise their voices
against them lest they be dealt
with harshly.
"Ami after many days it came.
to pass on a fixed date the radi
cals compelled all who worked
with their hands to cease from
their labors, and refuse to' do
aught.
"And all the people were sein
ed with a great fear because the
cars ran not through the streets,
neither did the jitney pursue its
usual course and many threats of
violence were beard and much in
convenience was fastened upon
the inhabitants.
Now Ole of the Tribe of Han
son, Norseman, was the ruler of
the city, and when he saw the evil
which was Jieing wrought to all
the people and the defiance of the.
radicals of authority, he was very
wroth with righteous indignation
for he knew that great harm was
being done to the laborer as well
as to the employer. ,
"And be arose and girded up
his loins and smote bis breast and
called for his Chief of Police, ono
Joel F. Warren, a mighty man of
valor, whose stature was very
great, and who feared no man.
Ami the ruler, even Ole, said un
to the Chief, 'Canst thou with thy
valient band provide full protec
tion for these my people who suf
f..iv for I w ill issue an edict direc
ting business to be resumed as us
ual at 8 a. m. on the morrow.'
Then the chief, raising himself
to his full height, which is head
and shoulders above other men,
answered the ruler saying, 'Verily
I with my men am fully prepared
to offer 'the fullest protection to
all the people against our com
mon enemy, and should any them
be who openly defy thy authority
or seek to destroy property or mo
I will drive them before me until
their hnts float over them in the
w aters of tho Sound.'
"And Ole the ruler was much
pleased for he knew it was even
as the Chief had said.
"And Ole called in a scribe and
en used n narchnient to lie written
reassuring all the people even the
laborers, and he denounced me
