nevertheless served as warning of
what may happen at any time.

MONDAY TO
Be LEGAL
HOLIDAY
Governor Takes Ac-
tion Following Opin-
ion Rendered by At
torney General

Governor Olcott this morning
proclaimed that Monday, Febru-
ary 13, shall be observed as a legal
holiday in the state of Oregon in
honor of Lincoln s birthday
which falls on Sunday this year.
The governors action follows an
opinion from the attorney gem
erals office to the effect that
Lincoln's birthday was not in
cluded in the list of legal holidays
set apart by the state legislature.
This omission, however, it was
pointed out, was due to an error
in amending the act of 1918 by
the legislature of 1915 when the
wrong section of the code was
amended in an attempt to make
February IL a legal holiday. The
attorney general also points out
that the day is not even a school
holiday except that portion of
the day is required to be set aside
for exercises appropriate to the
occasion.
An urgent request has come to
the executive department of the
state of Oregon from the Portland
clearing house association that
Moiday, February 13, be declared
a legal holiday within this state,
inasmuch as the day preceding,
Sunday, February 12, is the ami
versary of the day of Abraham
Lincoln IS BIRTH" the proclama-
tion reads.
1T is represented to the execu-
tive department that complica-
tions may ensue in event the said
day of Monday, February 13, is
not declared a legal holiday.
There seems to be difference of
opinion among attorneys Of the
state as to whether or not such
day is a legal holiday under the
statute.
81 am informed it has been the
custom of Portland banks and
the majority of banks throughout
the state to remain closed upon
this day in the past, under the
assumption that such day has
been made a legal holiday by leg
islative enactment.
"Now, Therefore, I, Ben W.
Olcott, by virtue Of the author
ity in me vested, as Governor OF
the State of Oregon, do hereby
declare Monday, February 10, A.
D., 1922, to be a legal holiday
within the State of Oregon"

Edison Works
AS Usual On
18th Birthday

East Orange, N. j., Feb. IL
Seventy-tive years ago today
Thomas A. Edison was born. To-
day, however, was Just another
Saturday in his busy life. He had
made no plans to take a day off,
nor to delay rising beyond the
usual hour. At the great Edison
plant he and his army Of fellow
workers faced the same routine.
While Mr.. Edison seemingly
forgot the day and It's sigrifance,
there was no oversight on the part
of the edison pioneers, an or
ganization of men employed by
him since 1885, or for an even
longer period. Members Of this
band of workmen had planned for
many days, the greetings to be
extended to the aged inventor
and had arranged for the annual
luncheon in the storage battery
building of the plant.
A wireless telephone had been
installed in the hall and arias
by Marie Rappold, grand opera
star, who sang for the gathering,
were sent broadcast.
Many old friends were expected
to drop in and swap "reminiscences
during the afternoon and messages
of congratulations came In from
all parts of the world-from all
manner of men and women.

Sleep Late Today

which other deputies said had re-

valuable clue bearing on the the
ory Of that office that Taylor's
death was the result of Jealousy.
District Attorney Woolwine
telephoned from his home that he
was resting and would be down
shortly before lunch time. He was
in his office until midnight last
night, engaged with various wit
nesses, including Miss Mabel Nor
