when people lose their taste" said
a physician, they retain their old likes
and dislikes just the same. Miss Smith,
for Instance, can't tell slice Of roast
beef from a fried onion, but she dis
liked onions before her taste went, and
therefore she won't eat them now.
People lose their taste through severe
illnesses, and with the loss of taste the
loss Of smell nearly always goes; hence
queer, cruel practical jokes. / know Il
woman without smell to whom a pint
Of onion juice was sent in a cologne
bottle. She deluged herself with this
onion juice and appeared in a crowded
heated ballroom.
ITO man without taste or smell all
cheeses must be alike, yet old Brown
low won't touch limburger. He says it
would make him i'll, and probably it
would. 1t is very odd to hear these de
ticient people praising and condemning
food and drink. They do it, though
They do 1t as heartily as you or /.

disgust glass of white wine, claiming

Occasionally the excess of wives in
Utah leads to amusing consequences,
as when one Of the apostles invited a
visiting gentle to dinner. The guest
lost the address and looked up the
apostle in the directory. He observed
that his hostess, though she answered
to the proper name, seemed unprepared
for him, and presently he heard her at
the telephone.
"Oh, Emma, Is John living at your
house this week? Is he expecting
somebody to dinner today? Very we'll.
The gentleman will be there in a few
minutes
Then returning to the stranger she
handed him paper slip.

Is SWAMP LAND.
Land Agent Investigates klamath
County Tract.


State Land Agent Oswald West has
returned from a trip to klamath
county, where he went a week ago to
inspect the character of certain lands
situated in what is known as the
Swan Lake basin, says the Salem
Statesman. A great amount of land in
this basin was taken up for home
steads by about a dozen settlers and
the report came to the state land Of
flee to the effect that the greater por-
ton of the land was of a swampy
character.
Based upon this information, Mt.
West was delegated to make the trip
and investigate on the part of the
state and he was accompanied by a
government agent from Roseburg.
Mr.. West reports that about 5000
acres of the land was found to be un-
questionably swamp, in which case it
becomes the property of the state and
will doubtless be patented to the state
by the government on satisfactory
proof as to its swampy character be-
ing furnished the general land office
officials
Mr.. West also states that very lit
tie of the land which was adjudged
as swamp. it being covered with
water at this time of year, which is
the dry season there, is occupied by
the settlers and such as is the state
Will not take the trouble to deprive the
settlers of if they have any chance to
secure title to it from the govern
ment.
This swamp land, when acquired by
the state, will be subject to sale. and,
in case a drainage and irrigating pro-
ject is ever put through that section
of the state it will become valuable
as agricultural land.

while ex-senator John Ford spoke against
the proposition on the ground that Mr..
Jerome had never avowed himself as an
upholder Of municipal ownership.
II. Fulton Cutting, F. W. Hinriohs and
others defended Mr.. Jerome, and ultimately
the proposition instructing the nominating
committee to present Mr.. Jerome's name
to the convention was carried by a vote Of
30 to H. Afterward, however, the resolu-
tion was 30 modified as to permit the COM
mittee to submit other names than that OF
Mr.. Jerome's II exigencies should make
such q course necessary.
Mr.. Jerome has repeatedly stated that
he would not accept a nomination for Mayor.
Just as repeatedly he has stated that his only
ambition is to be reelected as District At
torney.
Mr.. Jerome's views are we'll known to
Mr.. Cutting and other leaders Of the Citi-
zens' Union, yet, despite this knowledge,
they persist In putting forward his name
for Mayor, when they know we'll that he
would not accept such a nomination, es-
peoially on an independent ticket.
The resolution adopted by the Repub-
lican organization earlier in the day inviting
the Citizens Union to a conference to be
held on Aug. 81, was read and 1t was decided
that the Union should respond to the invita-
ton by sending representatives to the con-
ference
