Cheese Factories.

Half dozen cheese factories are to
be established at once in the western
and northwestern parts of the state,
with the assistance of inspectors of
the state dairy and food department.
This will mark the first result of eff
forts that have been made for some
time by Commissioner Mcconnell, who
believes, after careful investigation,
that a great saving to farmers in
sparsely populated districts, where
there are few cattle, will be gained by
their selling dairy products to a
cheese factory. instead of trying to
compete with the great butter-making
districts.

friendly overtures to the United States
with especial interest in view of the
growing enmity between his country
and Great Britain. Diplomats say that
there is now apparently rivalry be-
tween Germany and Great Britain for
American friendship.
President Roosevelt is naturally
pleased at the persistence of Emperor
William in endeavoring to promote
friendly relations with this govern
ment. During the four months of his
administration Emperor William has
given positive assurances that he has
no intention of occupying territory on
this continents; has shown a desire to
consult the United States with respect
to the collection of claims from VeneZ-
uela; has asked that the presidents
daughter christen his new yacht, and
has finally announced that his brother
and his imperial yacht will pay visit
to this country. The desire for Ameri-
can friendship is so obvious that it has
impressed the officials.
In connection with the proposed trip
of the Hohenzollern to New York EN-
peror William telegraphed as follows
in English TO President Roosevelt:
ST am most gratified by your kind per-
mission for Miss Roosevet's performing
the christening ceremony of my yacht. 1t
gives me great pleasure to announce 10 you
that l have ordered my yacht, the Hohen-
zollern, to cross over and be present at the
ceremony. My brother. Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia, will appear as my rep
resentative and will be able to express to
you once more my sincere feelings and
friendship for the United States and their
illustrious head.
President Roosevelt replied as fol-
lows in German:
"Your majesty's intention to send over
your yacht, the Hohenzollern, to attend
the christening by my daughter of your
new yacht is the source of great pleasure
and satisfaction to me. / can assure Won
hearty welcome for your brother Ad-
miral Prince Henry, 10 whom 1 shall per-
sonally express my sincere feelings of es-
teem for your majesty as we'll as nv best
wishes for the welfare of the German peo-
pie.

tional Committeeman for the
~ Hawaiian Islands.

Samuel Parker, of Honolulu, has
been made republican national COM
mitteeman for Hawaii, in place of Har-
old Marsh Sewall, who resigned in IA
vor of Parker.
The place gained by Parker has been
greatly coveted by the politicians of
Hawaii, as it is supposed to be the
seal of power in the matter of patron
age, and in faraway territory like
Hawaii the dictum of the national
committeeman is accepted in the con-
duct of the party's affairs. Samuel
Parker is one of the best known of the

He was once premier of the monarchy
of Hawaii, and lately candidate for
delegate to congress in the campaign
in which Robert Wilcox was successful.
He is cattleman, owning immense
acreage in Hawaii and raising most of
the island-bred beeves marketed there.
Parker is ambitious to be the next gov
ernor of Hawaii, and has good chance
for the office when Sanford B. Dole
goes out. Harold Sewau, who resigns
the republican committeeship, was for
mer minister to Hawaii and later spe-
cial representative of the United
States there. He is a Son of the late
Arthur Sewall, who was Bryan's rum
ming mate in 1896, and has recently
come into large fortune by his. IA
theirs death. Sewall was talked of for
the governorship of Hawaii, but failed
of appointment. tbs understood now
that he has given up particular interest
in the politics of the islands, and is
striving for the post Of minister or
ambassador to some great foreign
power.
The republicans in the islands are
split into Dole and anti-Dole factions,
but as Parker is friendly with the Lead
ers of both sides, he may be able to
reunite them.
