Meeting of the State
Mutual Fire Association OF
Canton.

The annual meeting of Canton's
Fire Insurance company was held in
the office of President Rudolph owe
the post Office Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock. A great deal of routine work
was transacted including an examina-
tion into the affairs OF the company
by the officers and directors present,
after which the old officers were
unanimously reelected.
The annual report was examined
by the writer and shows the company
to be solid, prosperous and growing
in favor as one of the safest and
squarest insurance companies in the
state. and this excellent condition is
only what anyone expects who knows
the President OF the Company. The
writer has known the President as a
loyal Dakotan and Canton business
man 80 years and a say with all who
know him best that there is not a
more capable or careful business man
in the entire state. TO his careful
and able management of the home
office is due the splendid condition Of
the company. 1t carries a greater
cash surplus than any other mutual
in the state, and has returned to
members in premium dividends dur
ing the past six years, S5O,O15, or in
other words it has saved that nue.
for those who have insured in the
company besides giving them protec-
ton.
For the year 1905 the Company paid
80, 300 in fire losses, and the amount
Of insurance in force on the first day
Of this month was S1,448, 500, and the
individual policy holders numbered
has. The amount returned to mem
bers as dividends for 1905 was So, 643.
General J. B. Wolgemuth, secretary
and general solicitor for the company,
is one of the best known gentlemen In
the state, and his word is as good as
a bond anywhere. He Is known from
one end of the state to the other-up,
down and across, as n of the safest
and best judges of insurance risks In
the business. The Leader takes great
pride in 1.-The State Mutual Fire AS
ISOLATION of Canton" and can honestly
recommend it to all as one Of the safest
and strongest mutual companies in
the state, and nothing more is neces-
sary to the man who wants gilt edged
protection.

TELEPHONE MEN IN ACTION.
The Annual Meeting Held at
Sioux Falls Last Week.

According to the Sioux Falls papers
The South Dakota Independent Tele-
phone Association had lots of business
and a royal banquet at their fourth
annual session.
Hon. c. B. Kennedy, President of
at the banquet, and those who have
seen and heard the famous Chauncy
Depew in action say he is not in it
with the broad %shouldered, brainy
Dakotan.
The telephone business conducted
by local or home companies in the
state is steadily growing in volume
and Importance. The big monopolies
have made several efforts to curtail
the usefulness of the ''little fellows
and all manner of threats have been
used to COMPEL local companies to
surrender their independence and be-
come mere servants of the big COM
panies, and the writer knows per-
sOnally that President Kennedy has
met these bulldOZers at every point
and thwarted their base designs. He Is
a better lawyer than any Of the trust
Ambassadors" who came to the state
and in every case has exposed the in
justice of the demands presented by
the trust agents, and some of those
gentlemen considered themselves
mighty cute. Had it not been for
President Kennedy's good Judgment
and legal ability the local companies
would have in most cases., become
mere agents for the trust.
The home or local companies are
now strong enough and sufficiently
united to withstand any assault from
the foreign companies, and the South
Dakota Independent Telephone As
ISOLATION proposes to hold the field
that rightfully belongs to it.
At the conclusion of the business
session, the following officers were
elected for the ensuing year. G. B.
Kennedy, president, Canton; j. A.
Steninger, vice president, Parker; e.
r. Buck, secretary-treasurer Hudson.
Then the various committees were
appointed, after which came the
banquet which was held in the Catar-
act dining room. After ~disposing OF
a delicious menu the following toasts
were responded to:
