The Collector of Internal Revenue reports: *° 
“On June 30, 1910, there were in operation throughout the Islands 68 
registered stills of modern type, as compared with 78 in operation on the 
same date of the preceding year, and 68 on the same date in 1908. During 
the year, 60 illicit stills were captured by internal-revenue agents. * * * 
All of the illicit stills captured were of the ancient type known as the caua, 
of which there were about 600 in operation throughout the Islands prior to 
the taking effect of the Internal Revenue Law in 1904. The captured stills 
were small, with a daily capacity of 10 to 50 proof liters each.” 
These data are tabulated as follows:
