Minneapolis, Dec. 9. Wheat The

ceipts removed auy remaining doubt
as to the course ot the market. The
longs weer less disposed to sell and
their holdings, whllo the demand
from the shorts was never much in

that the trade Is divided as to the
future course of tho market. Tho

WATCHING THE RIVER.
Water May Rise to the Danger Point
on Lower Docks Guage Today In
dlcates 12.7 at the Morrison Street
Bridge.
Portland Doe. 9. The river is now
a ta critical stage opposito Portland,
nnd wot wpnther4 mnv cause a rise
that would put the water on the lower
Ash street dock within a week, ac
cording to Forecast Official Deals.
"The guago now, gives the height
nf tho vlvpr Iipi-p nt 12.7." ho said.
"while the tendency Is to remain sta
tionary within the next 24 hours. At
Eugene the river rose a foot within
the past 12 hours, whllo at Salem and
Albany It is falling."
Driftwood gives the gatcmen at
Morrison and Madison street bridges
considerable trouble, and all their
spare time is used In ridding the
drawheads of the tangle of brush,
logs and tree roots that accumulate
there. Sometimes the drift can he
Rhnvorl awav into the current with
the aid of Jong poles, while at others
the passing street car is used in haul
ing the mass Into the stream.
ThPi rainfall so far In December
amouits to 3.86 inches, which, added
torNfa,vombcr's record of 9.94, keeps
tho soil of Western Oregon full of
water, so that what rain falls here
after will seek the streams rapidly.
A good deal depends, therefore, on
the humidity of the Immediate future
as to whether goodB shall be moved
from the lower docks. 'A strict watch
Is being kept by the local weather
bureau officers.

OXYGEN STIMULATES HEART.
Chicago Professor Kept a Turtle's
Heart Muscle at Work for 72 Hours
After It Was Removed From the
Body.
nhlrncn. Dec. 9. The discovery of
a new means of causing rhythmic
beats In a strip of heart muaclo Is an
nounced from tho University of Chi
cago. The stimulus Is oxygen, and
Dr. David J. LInglo is the rllscoveror.
Ho has been working on the lines of
Professor Jacques Inch's annouueo
raent, made two years ago, that a so
lution of salt would stait a heart to
pulsating.
It long lias been Known tnai uiu
hnrt lu ovtrnnmlv sensitive to oxy
gen, and to carbon dioxide, the gas
produced in vitiated air. But hereto
fore the action of oxygen has been
thought to bo confined to tho purlfl
cation of the blood. Dr. Ungle shows
that this gas has been the power di
rectly to sustain tho beats of a strip
or in. mi t nuiHolG removed from the
body of a turtle and to keep it going
for more than 24 to vz nours, .vuu
then the muscle stopped only because
.licanlntlnn Kft lii and In fact, tho
strip continued to beat for 24 hours
of tho 7Z with part or ll airoauy ueu.
