QUORUM FAILS

Because of the lac k of a quorum
the state emergency ioard did not

um. W. D. Wood, of Hillsboro.
chairman of the wajs and means
committee: In the senate, sent the
following telegram:
Unable to attend. If present,
should vote no. It Feems to me
that the amount appropriated should
have produced at least one carload
of, -fertilizer. I am afraid the emerg
ency board is working overtime and.
unit? a. halt is called, the next leg
islature will be greatly handicapped
from lack of funds." "
Governor Withycombe said the
board is not likely to be called again
for a special purpose of considering
a fund for the lime board, but that
the question doubtless will have to
remain in abeyance until the emerg
ency board Is called for some other
purpose, when the lim board's pro
posal also can be taken up. .
