IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE.

The New Firm of Griggs. johnson g.
neutrality-suspicious. of the North
western Fuel Company.
The GLOBE announced some time since the
contemplated reorganization of the Northwest
ern Fuel company. The proposed change was
contaminated yesterday, by W. L. Scott & Co.,
Fuel company. The stockholders were Messrs.
G. w. Griggs, VIM. Rhodes, J. j. Hill,
R. W. johnson and E. N. Saunders,
and these gentlemen on yester-
day parted with their stock. The
firm of w. l.. Scott & Co., is composed
of Mr.. Scott, Jas. p. Richards, A. 81.
Lee and Smith. Mr.. Scott is a million
aire who occupies the same relation
to the coal business which Vanderbilt fills in
regard to railroads. He was attracted to St.
Paul by the immense purchases made by the
Fuel company, and sought St. Paul as great
distributing center. In the reorganization
Mr.. E. N. Saunders was elected president and
manager of the Fuel company, and William
Rhodes was not allowed to lay down at present
the position of secretary and treasurer, which
he proposed to do.
Mr.. Saunders will be the active representative
of the Scott interest in the company and have
charge of the st. Paul business.
Following upon this change in the fuel COM
pany, the firm of Griggs, johnson 4 Rhodes
has been organized, composed OF the three
well known gentlemen named. They will con-
tinue general fuel and real estate business as
before. This firm has most ample capital and
facilities for conducting the business, and the
gentlemen composing it are too we'll known in
this community to need any commentator.
The very names of the firm is its own guaran-
tee Of fair dealing We are glad that they de-
cided to organize an independent firm and con-
tinue in the business. The city is to be con-
graduated upon having two such strong estab-
lishments in the fuel trade.
