Heading: Capital stock tax difficulties.

Text: The United States treasury department, claiming unpaid capital stock taxes aggregating slightly over eighteen hundred dollars against two of the companies from which the appellant had acquired certain of its mining properties, stopped operations at appellant's mine and was about to sell certain personal property on distraint, but, thanks to the good offices of Funkhouser and Twohy, appellant was given permission to resume operations within four or five days. Whether the appellant ultimately paid those taxes or the matter was disposed of in some other way, does not appear from the record. In connection with this matter, Mr. Funkhouser made two calls at the internal revenue office in Tacoma and also went to Olympia. (Mr. Funkhouser went from Spokane to Seattle and spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday in late August, 1941, on appellant's business. This includes the two visits to the internal revenue office and the trip to Olympia just referred to, the trip to Tacoma in connection with item B, and the first trip to Bellingham referred to in item A.) Mr. Twohy and Mr. Funkhouser also made a trip to Winthrop, Washington, at the time of the threatened sale of the personal property.
