TELEGRAPH COMPANY HOLDS
ANNUAL MEETING.

Denver, Feb. 1.-THE annual
meeting of the Mountain States Tele-
phone & Telegraph company was held
at the offices of the this
afternoon.

Mountain States system, and the fol-
lowing directors We're elected for the

Yer, A. V. Hunter of Leadville, w. L.
Graham of Pueblo, w. S. Mccormick of
Salt Lake City. and Theodore n. Vail
and u. n. Bothell of New York.
Nothing other than routine bust
ness was transacted at the s~tockhold-
ers' meeting. In presenting the an
nual report President Field called
particular attention to the fact that
the figures given embraced the rams
actions of the entire system, noting
that in the past, figures given en-
bodying the transactions of the COM
pany as a whole, had been ~misquoted
as covering the business done only
in one city or one state, whereas
they should have been clearly shown
to cover operations in five states.
Immediately following the stock
holders meeting the newly elected
directors met and chose the following
officers:
e, B. Field, president; Edward B.
Field, Jr, first vice president and
treasurer. f. M. Burgess, vice pres
ident and general manager; Philip
Hamlin, vice president; j. f. Macdon-
aid, secretary; Roderick Reid, gen
eral auditor.
This practically constitutes a re-
election of the former officers, with
the exception Of the two vice presi-
dents created this year. e. NJ. Burgess,
formerly general manager, continues
that title, and is made vice president
in charge of operation. Philip Hamlin.
assistant to the president, is elected
a director and made vice president
in charge of public relations.
Both Messrs. BURGESS and Hamlin
