One of the most interesting travel
organizations of the world is the

over 200 of the prominent residents,

1900 for the corresponding areas
shows that four counties have increas-
ed in population during the last de-
cade. The rates of increase for these
counties range from lib per cent in
Maui County to 402 per cent in Homo
lulu County, and the absolute in
creases from 3,019 in Maui County to
1884 in Honolulu County. The popu-
lation of Kalawao County in 1910,
namely, 1855, compared with the popu-
1ation of the same territory in 1900,
shows a decrease of 1872, or 1873 per
cent.
IsIands.--Table shows the popula-
ton of Hawaii, by islands, for 1910,
with comparative figures where avail
able for 1900 and 1890. A substantial
increase in population during the last
decade is shown for the four larger
islands. The small island, Molokai,
shows a decrease of 713, or 2S5 per
cent. Oahu Island, containing Homo
lulu city, had the largest increase in
population, namely 23,4S9, or 4O.1 per
cent.
Density Of Populatlon.-The total
land area of the territory is 6,449
square miles. The average number OF
persons to the square mile in 1910 was
29.8; in 1900 and 1890 it was 1913 and
IA respectively.
The density of population is given
by counties in Table 3.
Hawaii County with 4,O15 square

The Number of Inhabitants, by
Islands, Counties, and Minor
Civil Divisions
THIRTEENTH CENSUS OF THE
UNITED STATES 1910

ing the last decade of S4,9OS or 24.6
per cent.
The first census of the Hawaiian
Islands was taken in 1882, and was
followed by censuses in 1886, 1850,
1853, and 1860. These censuses were
very simple and rudimentary in char
acter. A census taken at regular
periods was not provided for until
1865, when the legislative assembly
made it the duty of the board of
education, every sixth year, counting
from the year 1860, to make a com
plete census of the inhabitants of the
Kingdom, to be laid before the King
and legislature for their considera-
ton" Under the terms of this re-
quirement, a census of the Hawaiian
Islands was taken every six years
from 1866 to 1896, inclusive. The
censuses of 1900 and 1910 were taken
under the acts of Congress providing
for the Twelfth and Thirteenth Fed
eral Censuses, respectively.
The census of Hawaii in 1910, as
previously stated, was taken as OF
April Is, of that year. The censuses
from 1866 to 1900, inclusive, were
taken as of different dates, as follows:
1866, December Z; 1872, December q;
1878, December q; 1884, December
27; 1890, December 2S; 1896, Septem-
Der 81; and 1900, June 1. No informa-
ton is available concerning the CORE
spending dates for the censuses prior
to 1866.
The population of Hawaii at each
census from 1882 to 1910, inclusive,
was as follows: 1882, 13O,313 1886,
1OS,579; 1850 S4,165; 1858, 1913;
1860, 69,SOO; 1866, 62,959; 1872, 56,S97;
1873, $685.; 1884, SO,57S; 1890, $3.50;
1896, 10000; 1900 154,OO1; and 1910,
1871 ,9O9.
The following table shows the popu-
lation of Hawaii at the Federal cen
suses of 1910 and 1900, and at the
census of 1890, taken under the direc-
ton of the Hawaiian Government, to-
gether with the increase and per cent
of increase during each decade.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-01-05

During the decade 1S90-1900 the
growth of Hawaii was very rapid, it's
population in 1900 being over one and
two-thirds times as great as in 1890,
while during the last decade, 1900
1910, the growth was slower, the popu-
lation in 1910 being less than one and
one-fourth times as great as in 1900
Minor Civil DiVisions.-The political
divisions into which counties are sub
divided are collectively termed Minor
C;N1 divisions" OF these minor civil
divisions those which rank next to the
county as geographic areas are termed
primary divisions; these in turn may
be divided into smaller political units
referred to as secondary divisions. In
Hawaii the counties are divided into
q primary divisions, comprising 26
election districts and one island. There
is also one secondary division, Hilo
town, which is formed from parts of
North and South Hilo districts in
which it Is located. In 1910 this town
had population of GAS. Honolulu
district, in the island of Oahu, is to
all intents and purposes a city In
1890 it had a population of 22,9O7.
During the following decade, 1S9O-1900,
the population increased to 1896, a
growth of 1899, or 71.6 per cent,
while during the last decade, 1900
1910, the growth of the city though
substantial, was slower, the popula-
ton in 1910 beingg 52,1S3, an increase
of 1887, or 1928 per cent.
counties.-In 1910 the territory of
Hawaii was divided into five counties.
The population of these counties
ranges from 1855 in Kalawao County
to S2,O2S in Honolulu County. A com

In 1876 the hitherto prevailing system
of feudallsm was abolished by the Land
Act, under which the crown lands were
yielded up and provision was made for
the people to become owners of the
soil.
About 1910 French and British officers
attempted to gain a foothold in the
islands but their acts were disowned
by their respective governments. In
1912 the independence Of the islands
We're recognized by the United States
and two years later by France and
Great Britain.
The dynasty established by Kameha-
meha l became extinct with the death
.of Kamehameha V in December, 1872
whereupon the legislature elected as
king, Lunalilo, who had received the
unanimous nomination OF the people
lie died childless about a year later
and the legislature again elected a

death in January, 1891, when his sister,

eminent policies were distasteful to the
progressive element of the population,
and i'm January, 1898. she was de-
throned and a provisional government
established. Negotiations for anneXa-
ton to the United States were begun,
but proved unsuccessful whereupon the
Republic OF Hawaii was organized I'm

were renewed in 1897, and In August of

MASONRY AND THE PRESS.

Archbishop Kelly, in closing an ad-
dress at Riverview yesterday, says
the Sydney Daily Telegraph of De-
cember Z, renewed and amplifed his
charges against Freemasonry. He had
been praising the Jesuit Fathers, and
asked what would they think if every
one of these were arrested, surround
ed by soldiers, and driven into a shed
to remain there for thirteen or four
teen days, subjected to hardship, con
tumely, and insult, and subsequently
as rabble. This had been done in Por-
tugal, and by the Masonic Society
which egged on the simple populace
to take that action. The press told
them that our Freemasons differed
from those of Portugal The press
also told them of secret passages in
Jesuit converts, of boarded wealth,
and arms which were used to fire at
the people, All fabrications, circulat-
ed by Masons and published by the
press. Perhaps Australian Masons
would not do this, but the society was
international. Years ago Freemasons
acted in the same way in France, and
the object of the order was evidently
antagonism to the Church Of Jesus
Christ. Not all Masons knew it, There
we're circles within circles, and only
the innermost circles knew-the 9th
ers were kept in ignorance. Masonry
was only a sort of philosophy, but its
members were taught to keep silence.
And they should insist on the press
breaking that silence and telling the
truth about what was done in other
countries and not publish cables con
tanning falsehoods against good men
disproved by the best of authority.
The following day Archbishop Kelly
returned to his attack on Freemasonry
which he likened unto Haman, who
had a gibbet erected for Mordecai,
and was hanged thereon himself; and
the other Jews were saved through
the influence of the good Queen Es-
Their. There were those in their
midst who had used their influence
to put an end to all the Catholic
schools if you could multiply them
they would still be filled" There was
secret society inspired by Satan,
with an animus little short of fiendish,
against God, religious schools, and the
work of the church. There We're Ma
sons who said there was no harm in
Freemasonry; they were blind. 1t was
known by it's fruits. 1t had been said
that Freemasonry was harmless in
| France; but see the state of France
/ today. I'VE will not teach the Ten
Commandments; we will teach sort
of morality was the teaching OF
Freemasonry in Australia, and of the
press which supported ii. Therefore
they had divorce, perjury, the break
ing up Of homes, children's courts and
other undesirable features of society
Away with them, the people would
say, and give us our Catholic schools
and let us be happy in them and in
the influence they create.

This bulletin gives the population of
Hawaii, by islands, counties, and
minor civil divisions, as enumerated
at the Thirteenth Census, taken as Of
April Is, 1910, with comparative state
ments of population where possible
The statistics are given in detail in
three general tables.
Table 1 shows the population of Ha-
wall in 1910, distributed according to
counties and minor civil divisions, and,
so far as possible, in comparison with
similar figures for 1900 and 1890 The
Management of counties and of the
primary divisions in each county is
alphabetical. The changes in boun-
daries, name, or form of organization
that have taken place since 1900 are
indicated in the footnotes to the table.
For changes between 1890 and 1900
reference must be made to the census
report of 1900. 1t may be noticed
that the county totals for Hawaii and
Maui as given in Table 1 for 1900 and
1890 somewhat exceed the aggregate
population of the minor civil divisions
of each of these counties as shown in
the table. This is for the most part
due to territorial changes that have
been made in the minor civil divisions
of these counties since 1900. In Maui
County the population of two islands
was returned by districts in 1910 but
was not returned in 1890.

alphabetically arranged, with their
population in 1910, 1900, and $780, so
far as figures are available.

Historical NOte-The territory of HaI
wall is an archipelago of nine inhabited
islands. Hawaii. Maui, oahu, Kauai, Mo-
lokai Lanai, Niihau, Kahoolawe, and
Midway, besides a number Of small I'M
inhabited islands. The island first
named is the largest and was formerly
the most important, and has thus given
its name to the archipelago and to the
territory.
1t is probable that the first white
men to reach the archipelago were the
survivors Of the crews of two Spanish
vessels which We're wrecked on the
coast of one of the islands about the
year 1927. Juan Gaetano, a Spanish
navigator, seems TO have visited the
islands in 1542 or 1855. In 177s they
were definitely discovered by the Eng
fish navigator, Capt. James Cook
At the time of Cooks visit, the archi-
pelago seems to have been divided into
three distinct Kingdoms as follows:
% Hawaii co oahu and Maui; and
go Lanai and Molokai. On the death
of the King of Hawaii in 1882 a period
of civil war followed, which was
brought to a close in 1871 when Kane
hameha. the leader OF one OF the par
ties, had his rival assassinated. In
1895 he succeeded In establishing his
sovereignty over the entire archipelago
and founded a dynasty which governed
the Hawaiian Islands until 1872.
Idolatry was overthrow by the King
In 1919, and in the following year

of educating the natives. In 1889 the
King granted civil rights to the people
