The customs figures hsrk back as far as 1917, but the mark 1858 arrivals in Alaska during 1886 will probably stand ia vorably even with the late days of the gold rush With 30,s97 persons departing, the Territory shows a healthy population increase, of 2,666 persons from the Outside-the lag est increase, by the way, in the past 20 years Only in the past three years has the number of new arrivals consistently exceeded the depa-tu-es.

ANOTHER ROUND IN AXE HANDLE FEUD
Attachment Put on Prop erty of Defendant; Plain-
 tiff Seeks to Collect

The court fight of Alfred Modem against Joseph Stolfi, which, inci- dentally is based on the result of a street fight, saw further action to- day when Judge Miles F. McNift entered an order for further at tachment of belongings of Stolfi, in favor of Modem.
 In compliance with the order Deputy Sheriff James E. O'Leary attached Stolfi's property to the value of $487, which will be added to previously attached property of a value of $l3.
 On April 2, 1887, the court of common pleas awarded Modem a judgment of $325 plus $51 court costs against Stolfi for a suit based on an allegation of assault and battery. To date that judgment is still out standing, according to a new com plaint filed by Modem, and he seeks damages of $500 in the new suit. The allowance fori, further at tachment was made after the new suit was filed. Attorney Andrew D.. Dawson appears for the plaintiff.
 The judgment entered was by de- fault, because Stolfi failed to answer to the complaint of Modem. It was claimed that the defendant struck the plaintiff with an axe handle, on Bishop street.

Original Story of Disurb- ance at Outing Declared
 Exaggerated
Washington Hill

Terming a story carried in a local paper yesterday afternoon as biased and lacking in truths, John P. Shea, president of the Washington Hill Companionship club today is- sued a statement in which he blamed "gate-crashers" for the trou- ble at the first outing of the club at the Rod & Gun club grounds, Sum- day afternoon.
 There was not word of poli- tics spoken" said MT. Shea, land those who caused and continued the ruction were not paying guests. They were gatecrashers."
 "The trouble apparently started when one of these undesirables pushed another" he continued.
 "As far as the statement in the Waterbury American that the beer used for the outing was donated by a politician, that is untrue" said Shea, flor 1t has been paid for.
 At the organization of the Wash ington Hill Companionship club 8 representative of your newspaper asked me if the club would have any political affiliations, and I an- swered, Definitely no'!" said Shea, land again I say, The Washington Hill Companionship club is not in- terested or mixed up in any poli- tical party"
