A HIGH COMPLIMENT.
rhe Editor of the - Iron Age" Pays a
Deserved Compliment to Leading

rhe Editor OF the :. Iron Age" Pays a
Deserved Compliment to Leading
Wholesale House OF Portland.
The following fiom the Iron Age is at
once a compliment to Messrs. Foster &
Robertson and to Portland, with which
city this firm has SO long been prominently
identified:
The enterprising wholesale hardware house
issued, under date of July /, 1890, a large cata.
logue and illustrated price list of the goods
handled BY them. II Is another evidence of the
progressive spirit for which the Pacific coast is
famous, and indicates also the rapidty with
which thu Northwest is coming into prominence
The volume is 9x12 inches, comprising s64 pages
between its stiff cloth-boand covers The firm
handle hardware, timers tools metals and tin
ners' supplies. To their customers, in an intro
ductory, they say the catalogue is designed as q
book of reference for the trade, and it will
in making up orders. The goods shown are
such as are carried in stock. They call attention
to the fact that their business is exclusively
wholesale, q feature which ought and we believe
viii secure to this house very large measure
of the good will and patronage OF the trade in
the Pacific Northwest. No discount sheet is
issued, owing to the constantly fuctuating
prices. Ii Is stated that their endeayor 10 to fill
all orders complete On the day they are received
and give the trade the benefit of the lowest
prices ruling on the day of shipment. A COM
mendable feature OF the index Is the space left
after each letter to index subsequent leaves
that may be sent out The general arrangement
and appearance of the catalogue is especially
pleasing and reflects great credit upon its
authors Their customers cannot fail to appre-
ciate the convenience which q catalogue OF this
character will prove to them
In addition to the foregoing comments
of the editor of the Iron Age, it should be
stated to the credit of Messrs. Foster e.
Robertson that theirs is the first complete
hardware catalogue gotten out by any
Pacific coast house. and the first hardware
catalogue of any kind gotten out in the
Pacific Northwest.

A Woman Ninety One Years Old Gives
Happy "Reminiscences.
The seventh meeting, since the organization,
OF the Seattle Buckeye Club was held In Judge
STATIONS courtroom last evening. and O most
interesting and enthusiastic time was the result
The club has just been in existence long enough
for the members to become thoroughly ac-
quainted, and the meeting last evening was an
incentive for the severing Of all ties of formal
ity-every one felt free, and lost themselves for
the time being listening to "reminiscences Of
people and places. in the state of their early life,
by the silver-haired portion of the club
When President G. +. Abbott took his seat,
and Secretary +. NJ. Priest read the minutes,
there were at least 100 smiling Buckeye faces In
the room. The apartment was crowded. not a
seat was vacant, and fully one-half of those
present were ladies' The routine work was
hurried through with, and call for speeches
and 'istories" brought Mrs. Sexton. lady who
has "seen 81 long shadows to the floor. A few
preliminary remarks, and the kindly, smil-
ing face of the old lady assumed q
sober reminiscent expression. she spoke
some time, and having spent nearly all her life
in the Buckeye state, being familiar with the
lives OF many men who now have national rep
utations, the lady made herself extremely inter-
esting. Her talk made known that she has a
wonderful memory and vigorous intellect.
When she took her seat she was given q round
of applause. and the members unanimously
hoted her their thanks Mrs Sexton is living
with her son, II. s. Sexton, on Third street. near
Pike.
great many short, crisp and to the point
speeches were made, notable among them that
of Mr. +. S Bailey, gray-haired veteran
Ohioan. Mr.. Bailey was not only q pioneer of
Ohio. having moved into hat state from the far
East with freight team, but is also Pacific
coast pioneer, having come to Puget sound
twenty years ago, and his talk was intersperssd
with interesting early tales of both states.
Another meeting will be held next Thursday
evening, at which time arrangements will be
effected for q club picnic. Ohioans who wish
to become members OF the club, can do so by
calling at room 20, Boston block, and register
their name in the membership book.

OF the water rights in an arid district il the king
and those who depend on him for water are his
slaves, for without water their farms are worth
less, and he alone can give them water and thus
can ruin them. There Ii very little unoccupied
land outside the arid region, and therefore the
new settlers must go In that region.
IF Major Powell had been willing to accept
that change in the law he could have had all the
money he wanted. They would have given
him as much money a. he could have used. Of
least 80 we were given to understand. But he
took his stand on the basis that IL would be inn
possible TO do it without creating difficulties
which he would not undertake to meet. So the
result was that no appropriation was made for
irrigation surveys On the other hand, the
House conferees succeeded in having the reser-
voir sites withheld from public entry. That
serves the purpose for all districts which have
been surveyed already, but the land which will
be irrigated from these reservoirs win now be
open to settlement, and the survey stopsn
