The quiet village OF Hooper lays
along the northeastern borders Of the
Great Salt Lake, some ten miles west
OF Ogden. It Is on the road to no place
and as n consequences visitors are few,
and no matter what Its public or pri.

the pablo press.
Nevertheless there is some enter.
prise and public spirit, which the visitor
might easily overlook because OF the
interminable streets and the TACT that

troduced joint resolution directing
the President to intervene In Cuban
affairs. The resolution, after recitiDg
Mace0's assassination and Spanish
cruslties in Cuba, sGys the President
failed TO carry out the Wishes Of the
people 30 that the honor OF the United
States is at stake, and history gives
no precedent on which to base the
hope that Spanish operations will
change In compliance with civilized
warfare. The President is directed to
express severe condemnation OF Span
ish methods OF warfare, especially the
muruer OF Maceo; recognizes the inde'
pendence OF Cuba and demand Of
Spain the Withdrawal of all troops
from Cuban soil. He is also directed
to take proper steps to sec that this de-
mand 10 carried out.
