COLONEL BIRD DISCHARGED.
The Council Relieves Him of Further
Services for the City.

The Council Relieves Him OF ufthoI
Services for the City.
Last evening at the meeting of the
common council a resolution, offered
by Alderman CRUDE, was passed,
discharging Colonel Geo. W. Bird,
of Madison, from further services as
attorney for the city in the railroad
bond cases, and requesting him to de-
liver to City Attorney Pease the rul-
ings and all other papers relating to the
interest suit decided by Judge Bum
last fall A majority of the aldermen
thought Mr.. Bird had acted unfairly,
and in threatening to sue the city for a
paltry $500, after having been paid
some $4,000 in fees and expenses on
the cases, he apparently had not
much concern in his clients welfare.
The resolution also directed that the
city attorney prepare himself to argue
the interest case for the city when 1t is
heard next month in the court of APP
peals at Chicago.
The itemized bill of Mr. Bird, over
which the controversy arose, contains
some amusing features. Every time
letter was written by the colonel touch
ing upon the cases, charge of from
two to five dollars was made, and for
expressing package of sixteen pam
phlets a remuneration of two dollars
was SOuOht in addition TO the repu lar
express charges. The aldermen have
ordered the voluminous bill and the
original contract of Mr.. Bird published
in the official paper.

Iue7S d Pond Piano Co.: GENTLEMEN:
We shall need a number of new piano
fortes this fall and [ wish to place an
order with you for fifteen uprights of
same style as last order. [ write thus
early in order that there may be no de-
lay at the opening Of our school year,
September 6. Our own experience with
YOUR piano fortes continues to be of the
most satisfactory character. The re-
markable uniformity with which they
withstand the severe use we subject
them to is a source of much gratitica-
ton to us. In word your instruments
are good enough for us, and we have
no desire to experiment with untried
makers, although we could purchase
any amount at less price than we
pay for yours.
Very Respectfully,
FRANK w. HALE.

ORR FOREIGN TRADE.

The foreign trade of the Puget sound
ports is considerably larger than the su-
perficial observer would suppose. The
country generally has been through a
period OF profound depression, manufac-
lures have been shut down TO great ex-
tent. and this state has been thought TO
be as severe a sufferer from the falling off
in trade as any section in the United
States. Yet during all the time there has
been steady trade with foreign countries
carried on by the sailing feet, which in Its
aggregate foots up surprisingly.
For example. by way of comparison. 1t
appears that since the first day of Janu-
ary there have departed to foreign ports
from the ports of California Is sailing YES
sells of various tonnage. carrying wheat
and lumber. During the same period
there have gone abroad from the ports of
Puget sound upwards of so sailing vessels
carving wheat and lumber. OF course
California leads by large majority in the
number Of wheat ships, and consequently
In the aggregate value of the cargoes, but
I'm the actual number OF sailing vessels
employed in the foreign trade, the figures
are as we have stated.
This is not an exceptionally good show
ing for the Puget sound region. 1t is far
below what has been done during the
same length of time in other years, but it
IL simply an indication that while bust
ness may be dun in this region it
is not dead. and that with
population in the state of about one
quarter that Of California, the tonnage of
sailing vessels engaged in the foreign
trade OF the two states is very nearly the
same.
There is as yet but two great staples
shipped 20 foreign countries by sea from
the Pacific coast. that is lumber and
wheat. OF the former Washington ships
abroad about three times as much as all
the rest of the Pacific coast put together.
As To the second. she is rapidly forging
into the front rank. and If an era of dol
