Mr.. William j. Kline, Hawaiian Hotel
Honolulu.
Dear Sir: Referring to the list OF
questions which you asked me in your
effort to seek Information concerning
conditions down here, l beg leave to
state that I will take them up, in order
ard answer them TO the best of my
ability.

the Hawaiians are commencing to rea-

substantial office structures have been
erected Large sums have been spent
on wharves. roads and public build

Tharyes and harborS OF Honolulu can
accommodate the largest vessels afloat.
I consider the Improvement in social
and moral standards, OF the community

Territory and the Problems It Called
Upon to Face.

While the senior publisher of The

Territory of Hawaii he submitted the
following questions to prominent and
representative residents of the Islands,
THE QUESTIONS.
How have the Hawaiians accept
ed the changed conditions following an
nexation2
2-Do you think that, on the whole,
the conditions in the Islands are i'm
proved as a result of annexation2
3-Do you think three-fourths of the
Federal revenues should be expended
for improvements within the Territory? :?
4.-In your opinion, is there an open
ing for other agricultural industries
than the raising of sugar?
5.-Are the land laws, as they stand
at present, best suited to the advance
znent of Americans in the Territory2
6.-Do the japanese take kindly to
American ideas?

s.-Do you approve of the immigra-
ton Of European laborers2
9.-If SO, do you believe they will be

rp,Iaaa {ba
10.-Has it been demonstrated that
the Islands are of value to the United
States in time of peace, other than
as a source of sugar supply9
lido you believe it is imperative
that the Islands should be fortified pa
a naval base established at Pearl Har-
bor9
12.-Do you think the Panama canal
will be of greater service to Hawaii
than Hawaii will be to the canal2
13-Do the Islands expect any com
mercial advantages from the opening
of the Tehuantepec railroad2
14.-What are your views on the
transportation and tourist problem?

has been written of more than any
other section of the Southwest. and it
would be difficult to say something OF

A visit will present the picture and
read the story OF one of the grandeS

would go there and write a story
which has not been written. and this
would engage the attention of many
who had not given much thought to
that feature.
The valley probably was never more
beautiful than now, although the
deep SHOWS of winter and conse-
quent late spring had somewhat de-
layed the growth of crops. High wa

STATE DAIRY COMMISSIONER

evening and is stopping at the Strater.

II is her first visit, these being new in

Mrs. Wright received her appoint
ment from Governor Peabody because
OF her eminent qualifications, she hay
ing been a practical and successful
creamery woman for the past 20
years. AT present she is the owner
of the Bloomfield creamery in Boul-
der county, though she has 1t leased,
finding her official duties too pressing

Bloomfield dairy she made on an av-

100 pounds OF butter day, selling
all the product herself, mostly in

woman who could do that should be
highly satisfactory to the people.
Mrs. Wright was seen by reporter

duties. In Denver there is milk in
spector who does that. AS Durango
has no such officer, such inspection
would have to be made by the health
officer, and might be made by him
upon complaint from any responsible
source. Mrs. Wright expressed the
opinion that the inspection OF mill
as sold by milk wagons ought to be
combined with the inspection OF milk
as used by creameries under one of
ficer.
In inspecting creamerles she does
not only look to the conditions oil
cleanliness and methods of making
butter and what is put in it, but ad
vises the creamery man how to buy
milk, provided he is not thoroughly
posted, so as to get the best results
She advises him to pay for the
amount of butter fat received and not
for so many pounds of cream. Then

AS Mrs. Wright goes around on her
travels she talks up the cheese bust
ness. She thinks any creamery that
fails to make cheese Is overlooking
the best part of the business.
She is heartily in favor of the milk
ing machine, which is a comparative
~ new invention. She first saw them
tested In Chicago, where she stood
by while two machines MIXED Ga
cows in one hour and seven minutes.
The cows do not kick at being MIXED
that way, as the milk is drawn by a
gentle suction. The machines are
operated by steam, water or electric
power. Only few have been brought
to Colorado. Mrs. Wright is trying
to get one for the agricultural college
at Fort Collins.
