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.

His paper was misunderstood by sev

the thought and creed of the movement.
Dr. Edward C. Bowes stated that all

while science had advanced greatly along
such concrete lines, the big field was
ahead in discovering the forces of na

that the body also had a great Influence

(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.

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)

expended in the installation of marhlii-
