Snow Laden Wind Sweeps Over State in Form of Greatest Storm of Season -Very Little Damage Results Despite "Blizzard" , , Local Forecasts F. Montgomery, in charge of the weather bureau during District Forecaster E. A. Beal's tour of inspection in eastern Oregon, at tributes the blizzard to extremely cold weather in Montana and compara tively mild weather in southern Oregon. The mild weather in the southern Oregon and northern California, dis trict attracted the cold Montana wave in that direction and Portland being in its path is getting a small sample of the blizzard. The wind gained a high velocity in this city this morning, the anenometer at the Weather bureau indicating 31 miles at 7 oclock. It came from the east and northeast, although at times ft seemingly came from all quarters, form ing blinding whirlwinds at street intersections. . . 1 The temperature began falling rapidly early in the day so that by 10 o'clock it was down to 18 degrees above zero. Forecaster Montgomery says it will go lower. 1 The storm was not felt at the mouth of the Columbia this morning, North Head reporting only 12 miles of wind with cloudy weather. But storm warnings were ordered displayed this morning, so the coast is ex pected to get ltjS share this evening. BODY HAS WORD TO SHY TO Thus Caiitions Dr. William son, While Admitting Power of Mind. Old Kirnr Boreas last nleht packed a fine collection of blizzards. Icicles and xero marks in his grip, boarded his spe clal train and started south ?for ifon. tana, .the Dakota, Minnesota, or some other state where they like this sort of thing and have to have It about the house all winter to make them happy. But some time during the night while the old gentleman was peacefully dream ing of what he soon would do to 'ears, nogea and other features that people were careless enough to leave lying around, some one switched his train to another track ami when his majesty woke up, tie. found himself in Oregon. It put him into a terrible rage and he turnod loos with a fine flow of lan guage? windlne up" by takfng his fiercest pnow storm out of the grip snd turning It loose on an unsuspecting community. 'City Gets Surprise. Bo when Portland crawled out of her bed In the dim, unromantlc light of the early morning to go to work, she shiv ered as her bare toes touched the icy floor and she hurrted Into her clothes In record '.Irr.e. She knew without look ing out of the w.ndow that It was the worst of the season. The wind howling outside at the rate .of .30 .miles an . hour told her that. Hut it wasn't until the cltv had swal lowed a hasty breakfast and stepped out side of the door that the first white flakes- hrimn to float down on the wings of the Icy wind. ' "Looks- as If It might snow today," nine people out of ten said s they took a look at the leaden sky. It was a safe bet, for by 8:30 a mild blizzard was sweeping over the city, the snow driving viciously into the faces of those who had to be out, borne on a wind that had attained a velocity of 31 miles an hour. Snow Drifts Badly. While the snowfall all day long has not been heavy. It has drifted badly on account of the wind and; made travel difficult and in places impossible. The horses attached to heavy drays have suffered especially. At 10:50 o"clock this momlnir three tf nrnm nf one transfer firm, loaded with heavy rolls of paper, were stalled In one block on Washington street, each of them sepa rately ana not on account or the lead ing wagon Deing unable to move. As a result the streetcar line on that street was tied up for aulte a while, which allowed the snow to accumulate on the tracks and further impeded transporta tion. y 10 ociock me streetcars were having all sorts of trouble. The Ore gon City wire broke on account of the force of the wind snd the weight of the snow ana trarric on mat line was tied up until tne Droken wire could be re paired. Streetcars la Trouble. The city lines were havlnr troubles or. ineir own., some or mem were al most entirely tied up, the cars being strung out at intervals, either unable to go ahead at all of if moving, only at an extremely . slow rate. Some people stooa on windy corners for half an hour waiting In the cold for a car. and (Cnltl Press Leaud Wlr.". Seattle, Jan. 5. Dr. W. T. Williamson of Portland in a paper before the King County Medical society last night in dorsed the idea of the En.manuel move ment, but predicted It would fall of its own weight. ' His paper was misunderstood by sev eral prominent Seattle physicians as condemning the- Emmanuel movement, and In a discussion which followed sev eral took up the gauntlet and defended the thought and creed of the movement. Dr. Edward C. Bowes stated that all physicians should break away from the old. routine and go deeper than the mi-c-rosnoplral examinations. He said that while science had advanced greatly along such concrete lines, the big field was ahead in discovering the forces of na ture. In this particular he indorsed the theory of the power of mind TVer the body, but also said no one should forget that the body also had a great Influence upon the mind. PACKING FIRM VICTOR Zimmerman's Establishment ('an Stay in South Port land Provided City Cannot Establish in Court Claim That It Is a Nuisance. LITTLE Gl M0RNIN L RECEIVES EARLY RLLFRGM BURGLRR (Special Dispatch to The Journal ) Salem, Or., Jan. 5. That the city council must prove the Zimmerman plant' a nuisance before it can pro hibit Its operation is the decision an nounced bjt Chief Justice Bean of the Oregon supreme court tojlay. The decision states that the coun cil cannot declare the packing plant a nuisance by a mere resolution, and on that ground prohibit it, but must establish it as such in court. The question is one of fact. The case is that of the habeas corpus proceeding brought against Carl Gritzmacher, chief of .police of Portland, to discharge the petitioner from arrest under a warrant Issued by the municipal court of Portland, charging him with operating and maintaining a slaughter house and packing plant In violation o ihej ity warnance. The case was ap pealed from the decision of Judge J. B. Cleland of the Multnomah county circuit court. Justice Bean holds that as there was, no claim that the plant was a nulsajice but on tho contrary much evidence was produced to show the location of the plant was In a sparsely settled district, the case of the city will not stand. It must ne snown tnat the plant, either from Its location or manner of being conducted, is a nuisance beyond doubt, and a resolution to that effect hv the council Is Insufficient in a court of law. Zimmerman was allowed to operate the plant under a previous cltv ordi nance and the city is estopped from pleading that the ordinance was void; It could only be pleaded bv the parties whose Immediate interests It affected.

I v Attorney John Hall, who represented the Zimmerman company in Its suit to enjoin the chief of police from removing the plant, said this afternoon that the only recourse now left to the cltv on ts present grounds Is to appeal to the Tnited 8tates supreme court. .Intli-p Bean's decision that an arbitrary dictum of the council that the plant is a nui sance Is not sufficient In law to act as an ouster, would seem to make the city's contention untenable In a further pursuit of the case. If the plant Is proved a nuisance the city ordinance ordering Us removal may then go into effect but not before. In order to prove this it Is necessary for property owners directly affected by the alleged nuisance, according to Judge Bean, to institute legal proceedings. At torney Ball says the property owners living in the vicinity of the plant will not do this. The city, he says, invited the packing company to locate its nlon) where It Is and after 175,000 had been expended in the installation of marhlii- ery an ordinance was passed ofderlng me uumpa-ny xo leave.
