tourist who has lately returned from

that the only Americans who seek that

10000 JAPANESE

Hawaii Shinpo: This is question
which is often asked by tourists and
something which we find difficult to
answer. We often speak of the sew
enty thousand japanese, but who

nese in Hawaii? The census of the
government is too old to be relied
upon Neither can the figures of in
coming and outgoing japanese as taken
by the consulate be said to be anthem
tie. 1t is by mere estimate that we
call our population 10000, which num-
Der we get by either adding or deduct
ing the difference of Incoming and
outgoing japanese and adding this to
the number of the supposed resident
japanese who were here before such a
system was put into practise.
To ascertain the japanese popula-
ton of the city some efforts are now
being made by the consulate. We
learn from this authority that the
total may aggregate over ten thou

of Honolulu is said to be 1o,033, of
which 6451 are males and 1852 fe-

lilies is 4551.
According to this authority, the
number of men, women and children

REPORTERS ON
TRANSPORT DIX
Two Seattle Newspapermen Are
Leading the Life
Strenuous.

Commissioned by a Seattle newspaper
to write a series of articles on Life
on a L. S. Army Transport, V. H.
Shay and A. N. Nelson, former report
ers on the Seattle Times, are signed on
the crew of the transport Dix, which is
now IN port. The two young men are
employed in the 9 animal = department
Of the ship, and have to work nard all
the time. At sea they are commonly
known as muleskinners.
When they boarded the vessel in
Seattle, it is said that they were both
soft IN SO far as their muscular de-
veiopment was concerned, and the la
bors which they were forced to per
form were thus made doubly irksome.
The boys have been game to the core,
say those with whom they are working
on the Dix, and haven t shirked bit
of their share of the work since the
Queen City was left behind
That they will have experiences ga
lore to write of, and that the tale will
not be altogether pleasant, is pretty
certain, for there are 454 head of horses,
including the mules, to be taken care of
on the transport. vi the animals, four
teen are private polo ponies for the
Army officers stationed in the Philip
pines, IT'S are public horses, and the re-
mainder of the lot, to the number of
265, are just plain, old-fashioned mules.
The transport Dix arrived here yes
terday morning, and Shay and Nelson
were put Immediately to work giving
the horses and mules an outing in the
fresh air. Each man had to lead five
mules at time, which is no easy task,
especially when it is understood that
the prayers had been penned up in lit
tie stalls ON board ship for about two
weeks and were therefore prone to be
frisky and keen to break away. Ali
the animals were led thus to the Army
corral in Iwilei.

PEARL HARBoR DOMINATES.

House the other day, Captain Hobson
said:
1.-THE nation that controls Pearl Har-
Dor is going to dominate the Pacific
ocean. L submit it as a demonstrable
fact that the race that gets its foot
planted there on the apex of the world
is going to dominate the world. Don t
you suppose the nations Of Asia wish
that territory? Why did one of the
great nations Of Asia apply to US in
1896 to share the Philippine Islands
with hera Of course, they want it.
Today there are no garrisons to speak
OF; their Notifications are inadequate;
they are absolutely defenseless.
"When the Panama canal is complet-
ed and we develop our great interna-

that we must expect all nations of the
