GOVERNOR GEER'S SYMPATHY
British Residents of Portland Post
pone Social Functions, and Many
"Will "Wear Mourning for
One Month.
Momorial sorvlcos for Queen Victoria
Rill be hold Jn the First Baptist Church,
Sunday evening, at 7:30 o'clock. This
was deolded on yesterday at a meeting of
British and Canadian residents, at the
office of British Consul Laidlaw. The so
cieties represented were: British Benev
olent. St. Andrew's, Order of Scottish
Clans, and Portland Caledonian Club.
Mr. Laidlaw -was chairman, and John
Latta secretary. All present wore mourn
ing After a general discussion of the
loss which the world has sustained by
the death of the good Queen, the me
morial service was decided on. It will
be open to members of all denominations.
It was the opinion of the meeting that
members of the various British societies
nre naturally entitled to first claim on
seats, and tickets will be sent to the
secretaries of the British societies for dis
tribution among their members. These
"will be .good for seats until 7:15 o'clock,
"when the doors will be thrown open to
the public Rev. Dr. A. A. Morrison, of
Trinity Episcopal Church, a native of
Dublin, Ireland, will have charge of the
service.
Consul Laidlaw has received the follow
ing message of condolence from Governor
Gcer, of Oregon:
"I wish to express to you, and through
you to the Crown, my profound sorrow
and the sympathy of the people of Ore
gon at your great loss in the death of
Her Britannic Majesty. Queen Victoria.
Having ruled so long, so humanely, and
over so great a nation, her death is a
profound loss to the world, and I extend
the condolence and deepest sympathy of
our people."
Consul Laidlaw says he will cable the
Governor's message, through the British
Foreign Office, to King Edward VII. No
other official messages, he said, had been
received at the Consulate.
The British ensign floated at half-mast
over the British consulate yesterday, and
a line of black crepe hung from the win
dows and covered the consular shield.
Flags are at half-mast at the French,
German and Swedish consulates. The
Mexican Consul, F. A. Spencer, does not
have an official office, but he dlsplajed
the Mexican flag at half-mast from his
residence, B5 Irving street. All of the Con
suls spoke of the deep regret with which
they heard, through the newspapers, of
the Queen's death, but said that they had
had no official communication on the sub
ject. French Consul Labbe said that
two French ships at Astoria displayed
their flags at half-mast. The Stars and
Stripes and the Commercial Club ensign
floated at half-mast, from the Commercial
Club. ShlpB in the harbor have their flags
lowered
Postmaster Croasman directed one of
his assistants to hoist the Stars and
Stripes yesterday morning. The assist
ant inquired ddubtfullyi "Did President
McKlaley order this?" He seemed to fear
that International complications might
arise. The Postmaster replied that the
American flag was at half-mast at the
"White House at "Washington, and that
this was enough for him. So the flag
TCis hoisted over the Postoffice. There
was no flag over the City Hall. The
head Janitor said that the Mayor was not
here to give the necessary order.
In offices and stores throughout the
city, where British and Canadians work,
the Queen's memory is kept green, and
her good deeds and pure life extolled.
Several are of the opinion that quite a
number of stores will be closed on the
day when the Queen Is buried. In the
homes of British residents, yesterday,
there was sadness, and all social func
tions have been declared postponed. The
British Benevolent Society has deferred
its convorsazione, and the Caledonian
Club Its concert and dance until Febru
ary 1. Many British people will wear
mourning one month.
Last night, Consoul Laidlaw said: "I
desire to return thanks for the good-feeling
which prompted the half-masting of
public and private flags, upon receipt of
the news of the death of Her Majesty,
Queen Victoria."

The Dnlry Commissioner Complains
Ajcalnnt a Rcstnnrnnt Proprietor.1
J. W. Hemsworth, the proprietor of
a Yamhlll-street restaurant, was served
with a warrant yesterday charging him
with selling: oleomargarine without ad
vertising Its true nature. The complain
ant is State Food and Dairy Commis
sioner Bailey. The case will be heard in
the Municipal Court. A carload of oleo
recently arrived In Portland and Commis
sioner Bailey has been watching Its sale
to see that the law was obeyed. The
statute caye that in any public dining
room where adulterated food or drinks
are sold, the bill of fare shall state the
fact, or if no bill of fare is used, that
a printed notice thereof shall be placed
in a conspicuous place. It is charged
that Hemsworth did not obey the law
in this respect.

Balmy Days Not Fnr Avrny When
Columbia River Smelt Sell at
Five Cents a Pound.
Yesterday was the kind of a day to
make any one feel certain that Spring
was at hand, if not here, In fact. The
warm sunshine and a drying breeze made
the streets and sidewalks quite dry and
more cheerful looking than they have
been for some time. There was a cool
ness in the air, however, which Is never
missing so long as there Is snow In the
mountains, and there Is plenty of it there
now. Vegetation is making progress,
buds are swelling, and flowers putting
forth on every hand. In a yard 6n Yam
hill street a peach tree was seen In an
advanced stage of blooming, And in an
other day or two of fine weather it will
be in full bloom. Another thing which
looked very springlike was a great dis
play of Columbia River smelt on a long
table on the sidewalk, being sold as fast
as they could be weighed at 5 cents per
pound. When smelt get down to 5 cents
per pound. Spring is not far away. An
old resident of the eastern, part of the
county said the weather put him in
mind of the early Spring of 1S69. Me
remembered the season very well, for he
arrived here that Spring and the weather
was warm and the ground dry early In
February. On the place his father
bought there were many large stumps,
and the original locator, in the true spirit
of early pioneer goodfellowship, had
built a large hog-pen in. the front yard
of his residence for greater convenience
in feeding his pigs. This his father set
Are to and burned up, early In February,
and the sparks from It set fire to a large
number of stumps in the vicinity, which
shows that things were dry at that
time.
the case advanced on the docket, but
without success, the court holding that
the matter was not of sufficient public im
portance, so it will come up for hearing
in its regular order, probably about six
months hence. Persons anxious for the
opening of the street must, therefore,
possess their souls in patience, wait
their appointed time, in confidence that
the matter will come out all righMn the
end. They might, for a change, try the
effects of a little flattery and cajolery on
Mr. Gaston, as no man is utterly Imper
vious to these.
GAS ROTS ASPHALT.
by
Sixth-Street Fakement Broken
Heavy Traffic.
Repairs are being made to the asphalt
pavement on North Sixth street, between
Davis and Flanders;- and many of the
holes are being filled at the expense of
the abutting property - owners. The
enormous traffic between the business por
tion of the city and the big freight
houses on the terminal grounds is very
severe on that part of the street, and
constant patching Ms necessary. Men in
charge of the repairs think that leaks
In the gas mains have a good deal to do
with the bad condition of the pavement
between Burnslde and Gllsan streets, aa
gas tends to rot the asphalt and render
it too weak to bear the burden of heavy
teams. Besides, the surface of the ground
is very level, and water runs off the
pavement slowly. Mud which is carried
on wagon wheels from the cross streets
Is permitted to remain longer than Is
beneficial, and tho grit thus formed
grinds Into the asphalt under the innum
erable wheels. "
That portion of Sixth street has been
laid in asphalt for several years, and the
asphalt company's guaranty has long
i since expired. Repairs as hereafter made
to the pavement will be a. the expense
of the property-owners along tho street,
many of whom believe that they are keep
ing up a smooth boulevard for all the
heavy trucks, wood wagons and sand
carts of Portland.

MAIN STREET EXTENSION.
Mr. Gaston's Appeal Holds Up the
Improvement.
A correspondent, evidently a resident, on
the proposed extension of Main street
through Joseph Gaston's property, desires
to criticise Mr. Gaston's actions and mo
tives in opposing the opening of the
street, and writes a very sarcastic and
slightly personal letter. No good end Is to
be served by publishing communications
of this kind. Mr. Gaston has some In
herent or Inherited objections to the open
ing of the street, which cannot be over
come by sarcasm or abuse. He appealed
from the assessment of benefits and dam
ages made by the viewers, as he had the
right to do, and was awarded a few dol
lars more damages by the State Court
than the viewers awarded him, probably
In order that he might not be mulcted
for costs. He .then appealed to the Su
preme Court, as he had a right to do. It
Is not understood that this appeal was
based on any particularly specified good
and sufficient grounds. He simply ap
pealed because he was not satisfied, and
wished to appeal. There was a chance
that he may get a new trial of his case,
or something, and, any way, the appeal
delays the opening of the street. City
