phone Company Met Last Evening.

The stockholders of the Wausau
nual session last evening in the Of
fees of the company. There being
a very large number in attendance.
Nathan Heinemann, president of
the company, called the meeting to or
der, and his address contained matters
of interest from the inception of the
company, 81 years ago; its struggles
during its infancy; its growth and
efficiency, down to the present time
and the loyalty of our citizens which
made success possible. He referred,
with much sorrow to the recent death
OF one who been power in the sue
cess of the company = Cornelius S.
Curtis. His address also covered the
prosperous business of the past year,
and the fact that farmers lines have
been built and that we now had over
100 farmers connected with the CEN
trail Office, and that this was but the
beginning of the work to cover out
lying districts.
The minutes of the last annual
meeting were read by James Mont
gomery, secretary, and a reading of
the financial report was made by c.
d. Jones, who explained each item as
he progressed. The report showed a
wholesome increase in the business
of the year. Mr.. Jones took occasion
to enter into the early history of the
Telephone company, and old papers
were passed around, showing the first
subscription list for stock. He al
luded to the struggle with the Wis
consin company at the beginning,
which later was amicably adjusted
and that the Wausau Independent
company was the first to be given
long distance connection with Wis
consin toll lines, since which time the
two companies have co-operated in
giving the very best long distance
service possible to our people. Sew
eral improvements, it was stated, were
possible in the near future, among
them a through wire to Milwaukee,
for the sole use of Wausau patrons.
Messrs Heinemann, Jones, Albers
and Montgomery have been members

company was started. H. P. Maynard

years when he was succeeded by E. B.
