DISTRESS SIGNAL AT STEAMBOAT
 SLOUGH

Customs officer George Kennedy re- ceived message from Katalla this morning that about midnight last night the launch Waif, enroute from Cor doya to Katalla, saw signal of dis tress on the shore near Steamboat Slough, about 35 miles from Cordova. Owing to the storm prevailing the Waif was unable to stand in to ascer- tain what was the trouble, but on ar irving at Katalla this morning immedi- ately sent word of the happening to Cordova.
 MT. Kennedy at once telegraphed to Juneau to ascertain if he might take steps toward sending relief to the party or parties stranded there, but this afternoon received a reply to the effect that there was no revenue cut ter in this vicinity that might proceed to that point, nor was there any funds available for hiring another boat to make the trip. As a consequence he is helpless to render assistance, and the person or persons making the signals of distress must do without assistance, unless some private parties send a boat to help them.
 A subscription is being taken up among the citizens of Cordova to de- fray the expense of sending a boat to Steamboat Slough and it is expected that Capt. Frank Cole will be sent out this evening to bring in the person or persons in distress.

U. R. & N. W. ROAD GETS REFUND
 S18,652

Clerk of the Court Arthur Lang re ceived a telegram form the Attor- ney general during the past week stating that the general deficiency bill passed by congress. and approved by the president, provided for a re- fund to the Copper River & North western railroad of $1S.652, and in structing him to pay the company that amount from license funds on hand, or if that amount is not in his hands, then from the first money re- ceived by him.
 The license law applicable to Alas ka provided for an annual tax of slOO per mile for every mile of rail. road operated, and on the 18th of last June the Copper River & Northwest ern railroad company sent their check to the clerk of the court for the sum of $19,525. being the tax for the fs- cal year beginning July 1, 1914. and ending June O3. 1915, on 195.25 miles of road. In compliance with the law. Clerk Lang, on the first of July. paid this sum into the federal treasury to the credit of the Alaska fund.
 On the 18th of July, 1914, the pres. ident approved a bill that had been passed by congress abolihlng the fixed tax on railroads in Alaska, and substituting in lieu thereof a provIs. ion requiring railroads to pay as a tax one per cent of their annual gross earnings.
 Immediately after this law went into effect. the railroad company ap- piled for a refund of the unearned part of the money they had paid. but as the money had already passed in. to the treasury, the only redress that could be obtained was by an act of congress, and this was accomplished by inserting a clause in the general deficiency bill
 While the Alaska fund will be the loser by this change in the law, the railroad will still contribute a con siderable sum, but the amount will not be known nor the payment made until after the year closes on June 30 next.
