PROSPERITY
COnceives There Is Too Much
 of it to be Lasting.

Hon. Geo. A. Cox, president of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, ln hls ad- dress at the last annual meeting of the shareholders, at Toronto, on Jan. I3, anent the American Pacific coast business Of the company said:
 "ln the three Pacific coast states To which Ws have branches, prosperity Is SO Esnsrsl that sObermlndsd people are be- ElnnlnE to look for the signs of danger which usually accompany later stages of Esod times. General business Is more sx'snslvs; the lumber trade Is 80 markedly successful as to Induce dangerous tsnd- sney to speculate In timber lands; and the general results ln money from agriculture, fruit growing, etc, have been most satls- factory. On the other hand the salmon pack, as To British Columbia, Is small, and the trade with the Canadisn Yukon has fallen off. the country being now supplied mainly from Canada, but trade with Alaska has Increased. The shipping busl- ness reflects perhaps only the unsatlsfae- torv conditions In Europe, but unless the trans-Pacife trade rapidly Increases lt may be that this large element ln the commerce Of the coast will receive a substantial check. The protection afforded the coast vlss shippers which Is still profitable, has made mUrs distinctly noticeable the differ snes ln profit between that class and the ordinary shippers who must compete with the world"

PADDY LYNCH SHOT.
Otto Skibbe Uses Can ON Board
ing-hOuse Runner.

Paddy" Lynch, the well known sail
or clearinghouse runner. was shot
last night by Otto skibbe, local cell
ebrity. The bullet took effect In the
tleshy portion Of the thigh and did little
damage. Lynch displayed his usual
nerve and walked unasslsted TO the Of
fee of Dr. II. l.. Henderson, where the
bah was extracted. skibbe surrendered
to Officer Thompson and was locked
up In the city jail, where he will re-
main until the time Is set for his pre-
liminary hearing on a charge OF as
sault with intent TO kill
SkIbbe was formerly an Astoria boot
black. and won some distinction, for
himself by high-diving and swimming
performances at the annual regattas.
He left Astoria several months ago. but
adversely overlook him, and when he
returned TO the city he was almost
penniless. Lynch Is one Of the most
charitable fellows imaginable, and he
readily took Skibbe In at the boarding
house and gave him good home.
There the young man received as
much consideration as any of the rum
ners and wanted for nothing that
Lynch did not provide.
Last eveaing about 1880 Skibbe start
ed up Bond street with man, and
when between Ninth and Tenth saw
Lynch walking ahead, Without say
ing anything that would give his COM
panion an idea Of what he was about
TO do, Sklbbe drew his gun and fired at
Lynch. who was only few steps away.
After firing the youth turned and ran
to Astor street, where Officer Thomp-
son arrested him.
Stories differ as to the cause of the
trouble, but the principals in last
nights shooting had frequently been
involved in trouble. Last evening
they were quarreling on Astor street
when Officer Thompson happened by
and told them TO desist. Only a few
days ago they had become involved in
an alteration in an Astor street saloon
and SlSibbe is said to have remarked
that he would settle accounts with
Lynch. II is said that there will be
some interesting developments at the
trial, Lynch is reported to have stat
ed that he would not prosecute Skibbe.
Lynch's wound is very painful, but
not at all dangerous. Skbbe evidently
shot to kill, and 1t was Lynch's good
fortune rather than his assailant's in
tent that saved his life. The ball lodged
In bone, but Doctor Henderson sue
ceeded in finding it, and Lynch will
probably not be away from business for
any great length Of time.

Multnomah county officials won de-
cided victory yesterday In their fight
for custody of Johann Seitz and Franc
ShAfer two sailors who had left the
German training ship Cecilia at Port
land. The men were arrested by
United States marshals for desertion,
and the county authorities were any
ious to secure custody of the men on a
criminal charge. There seems TO have
been some feeling between the officials
over the matter. The men were brought
down Monday night by Marshals Rob-
erts and Metz and were placed aboard
the vessel. Deputy Sheriff f. D. Mat
thews came down on the same train
and on Monday night had Judge Good
man prepare the necessary papers To-
get the men Oft the ship, Yesterday
Deputy Matthews and Sheriff Linville
boarded the Cecilia and arrested the
men, and likewise subpoenaed the Sec
ond officer of the ship as witness.
The sailors got on spree In Portland
and secured r160 under false pretenses,
The master Of ,he vessel did not take
kindly to the mission OF the officers.
but Sheriff Llnvllle soon convinced him
that the law was to be enforced After
the sailors were brought ashore word
was received from Portland that the
claim of the proprietor of the cafe
from whom the men had obtained
money had been settled and they were
returned 10 the ship.

The price { { spruce boxes has gone up
In consequence of the increase in the
price of logs. AT present local box
manufacturers are turning out boxes
for the local trade, as 1t will be some
weeks vet before The California de-
mand ma.erlallzes. Stlll further ad-
vances IN the price Of logs are looked
for, as spruce is very scarce on the Co
lumbla river at Ibis time. The mill
men are paying 50 a thousand now, and
at that high figure there seems to be
keen competition for logs, The price
of lumber and boxes has not shown a
corresponding increase, but probably
will before another month.
