 No effort will be made to operate the Shaw House as a separate pro position as the expense of putting the lobby and lower floors of the building into shape would be too excessive according to Mir. Beam. All the busi ness will be run from the Pioneer office and only the rooms will be run in the new quarters.
 \ large number of the Shaw House rooms are already in readiness for having been put in order yesterday. These will be continued thru the summer and early fall.

CROSBY SEATED

George B. Grigsby won the first round in the contested election case when he was seated Tuesday as delegate from Alaska by the house of representatives. The effort of his opponent to have the special election declared illegal was futile and the fact that not even nominal opposition was made against Mr.. Grigsby assuming the position may we'll be considered favorable omen for the latter part of the case which now must follow.
 With Grigsby filling the place, Mr.. Wickersham can now proceed with his contest over the 1918 election in the usual manner Service can be had and testimony taken just as if MT. Sulzer were occupying the seat The special election and its results will not enter into the question in any respect, the fight be- ing made solely upon the regular election.
 It is best for all concerned that the house did seat MT. Grigsby. It gives Alaska repre- sentation. Alaskan affairs will have someone to attend to them. Delegate Grigsby has lots of ability and is as familiar with the condi- tions and needs of the territory as any man in the North. He has legal mind and training second to none and we believe that he will make representative of whom all Alaskans will be proud. He has an opportunity given to few men. By loyal and efficient service he can get any reward he desires from the peo- pie of this territory. And The Citizen believes that he will live fully up to the opportunity.

According to an announcement made yesterday Jimmy Fairborn, local White Pass agent, the steamer Re- liance will leave Fairbanks some time Saturday for the Koyukuk district headed for Bottles, carrying freight, mail, express and passengers.
