u THE HERALD takes pleasure in intro
ducing to the Yakima public the new
legal firm of Birdseye & Snyder. Mr..
Snyder has been here long enough to be-
come acquainted with most of our citi-
zens, and his good qualities both as an
attorney and man are generally known.
Mr.. L. j. Birdseye is a more recent &C.
to speak more particularly, as he is
late arrival and a man who will undoubt-
eddy become a prominent factor in the
business growth of this city. Mr.. Birds
uated from the Iowa State university and
from the law department of that college,
and where for several years he practiced
his chosen profession. Recognizing the
opportunities offered in the west he came
to Washington and for over year made
his headquarters in Spokane as vantage
point for overlooking this northwestern
field. He has travelled over the state
with a view to permanent location, and
finds in Yakima conditions which have
! impressed him more favorably than else
! where. and has deliberately and advisedly
selected this as his home. Mr.. Birdseye
has credentials from prominent citizens
of this aud other states which are too
numerous to quote from to any extent.
: Congressman Hyde says he is reliable
aud upright gentleman, and any COM
: muuity which secures him as citizen
: will have gained substantial acquisi-
/ ton" In this line, Judge Moore, of Spo-
4 kane, saws: "Mr. Birdseye is an able,
vigilant and industrious lawyer, and en-
titled in every way to consideration at
the hands of the profession and others. ="
