Reports Apparent Shortage Is in Comparative Measurement and Bark, Shortage in the municipal woodpile a mbject of considerable speculation during the past few weeks. Is an ap parent shortage, and not a real short age, ac-ordlng to C. A. Bigelow, com missioner of public finance, who com pletcd yesterday a report to the city council on the wood situation. The missing wood, some 9SSVt cords, was not stolen, believes Mr. Bigelow, but the apparent shortage exists because of a difference In the amount of wood actually delivered and the amount v-ipposed to have been cut. In other words, not as much wood was cut as was paid to the unemployed for cutting. This discrepancy resulted from dlf ficulty in measuring and piling the wood on the ground, so that an irreg lar instead of an actual count of the Wood cut was made. A further loss of 10 cent is be lievfd to le accounted for by the loss of bark from the wood, much of the tark being worn off in the transmis sion of the wood from the camp to Linnton road in a flume. In addition to giving a solution for the mystery of the missing wood. Commissioner Bigelow points out that the city furnished work to many de serving unemployed, and that, due to the competition of tho city wood, the price of wood in I'ortland was low ered and thousands of dollars were thus saved to the people. Some esti.nates place this saving at about $100,000. Although Mr. Bigelow is satisfied that he has cleared up the shortage question, he has placed the matter be fore the grand jury that It may be gone into thoroughly from all angles. Sandy Boulevard Poles Down. Residents of the Sandy boulevard district who have complained for years against Wie number of electric poles along that thoroughfare are reaping results from their laments.

By William Philip Simms. L'altfd Preu Staff Correioon jenr. Petrograd. May 2T. The United States faces tremendous difficulties in any attempt to negotiate a new commercial treaty with Russia to re place the one abrogated during the Taft administration because of the Jewish question. This was learned by tne United l'ress today on the highest authority. "Negotiations were begun six months too late" it was stated. "Th allies are now perfecting a trade agreement among themselves. Until It is con cluded, Russia will make no outside arrangements. France Is bound to en counter difficulties, at least momen tarily. Economics Zs Only Subject. "If the treaty is accomplished at all, it must confine Itself to economics and not enter into discussion of Rus sia's internal affairs." Count Kokokovtsoff. former premier and former minister of finance, in an exclusive Interview granted the United Press, made It plain that Russia would consider no treaty in which its treat ment of Jews was made an Issue. "I am not an anti-Jew," he said. "My record is proof of this. "I admire America," said the count. "I welcome American cooperation In building industries and railroads and in opening vast resources of raw ma terial of every sort. Germany Flayed Sharp Oame. "Before the war Germany made no special demands on Russia. She was too keen. Having ulterior motives, she scattered the wildest stories against Russia, making trouble and meanwhile virtually monopolizing trade. "Americans ought to realize that Russia cannot entertain outside sug gestions regarding internal affairs. Americans must come in like any others, leaving Russia to settle its in ternal problems." Wdnesday. Hans Pederson, the au ditorium contractor, asks an extension of seven days for delays occasioned in the making of soil tests, and of 10 days for delay because of lack of in formation in certain drawings.
