On the eve of the departure of the Ameri can commission to Kussia the state department has received advices from Potrograd that the German govern ment Is not meeting with success in her effort through Intrigue and prop aganda to break down the Russia provisional government and bring Russia to a separate peace or lessen her military effectiveness. Hope Is felt here, however, that the provisional government not only will stand firmly by its understanding with other allies that there shall be no separate peace, but will continue to prosecute with vigor Its plans for setting up permanent democratic gov ernment and rehabilitate the country. The provisional authorities have been oM that tr-.nv czv. count upon the aid of the United Stales. It was authoritatively stated today that the American mission' to Russia contemplates no Interference in the internal affairs of the new-born re public. There are Just two objects to be served, to convey to the Russian people the high sense of gratification with which-tho government and peo ple of the United States have witness ed the sudden transformation of an ancient despotism Into a republic and like the commissions from London and Paris and the one soon to come from Petrograd to render any helpful service possible. The American gov ernment will offer to co-operate in every line of endeavor in the recon struction of Russia. Two months must elapse before the commissioners can reach Petrograd. In that time it Is hoped that work of establishing a permanent government will be well under way. BOARD OF TRADE CHICAGO, May 10.

The v. irnins v.as given that tho exchanges are ready to take similar steps with regard to July and September oats and corn should the necessity arise, trading in May options in corn and oats being under the bnn with wheat.

I Francisco and Oakland, California, on September 13 to 17, 1915, In which the convention of the Trl-State Good Roads association was merged and became a body of the congress, no speclnl work, any more than to main tain the association was dono, until the Oregon legislature mot In sosslon January, 1917, when tho question of road Improvement was first advo cated. On ndiournmcnt of the legislature RITTER TRANSFERRED TO BERNE, via Paris, May 10. Dr. Paul Ititter, the Swiss minister at Washington, has been appointed min ister at The Hague. Tills appoint ment has been necessary, owing to the difficulties experienced by the Swiss legation in London in carrying out its work in Holland, to which it is also accredited, owing to the lack of com munication between the two coun tries. The Swiss government, there fore, decided to create a separate le gation at The Hague. SIX KILLED IN PIER EXPLOSION SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich May 10 Six men were killed and several others severely wounded In an ex plosion this forenoon at the end of the Fort Brady pier. Most of tho vic tims were laborers. It is believed dynamite stored under the dock ex One of the men killed was George Cook, a member ofthe United States coast guard cutter Micltinac. The Mackinas was some distance from her moorings when the explosion took place. Tills fact probably saved her from destruction. . Army oflcers, atempting to com pile a death list said It was prob able that one or more persons were blown to pieces. Other bodies may have ben blown Into St. Mary's river. No trace has been found of several persons who were on the dock Just bofore the explosion. WW 5 a- t"W? i (il'.OHCJH V..

About six thousand letters and cir culars besides many pamphlets were broadcast In the western district of the state advocating the reason why tho bond issue should be carried, and inviting Its members and tho gonoral public to participate and attend tho Trl-State Roads convention for the purpose of devising the best ways and means for the remaining fifteen days for a whirlwind campaign of Impress ing upon the voters why the bond issuo should be carried. AVo feel that much good has result ed III the campaign so far made, hut feel that the remaining fittoen days from now until Juno 4, the date of the election, everybody should put his shoulder to the wheel and holp boost. s Work Outlined.
