GOV. SW1NEFORD AND CAPITAL
REMOVAL
The statement has been made that
Gov. Swineford went out'of his way to
make a speech before the committee
oji territories of the national house of
representatives in favor of the removal
of the capital of Alaska from southeast
ern Alaska to the Westward. How far
removed from the real facts is this may
be gathered from the record. The
printed report of the hearing, author
ized by the house committee is as fol
low?:
"The Chairman". 'Where would you
locate the capital. If you should have a
territorial govenmentV I mean geo
grapnically.'
'?Mi;. SwiNEFORD. To speak jocu
larly, I would put it on wheels at. the
present time, for the reason that at
present it would not be wise to under
take the selection of a permanent lo
cation. I'nder present conditions,
somewhere about Seward would be the
proper place for the capital ? either
Se? ard or Vuldez. I'referably, I think
Seward would be more centra1. For the
:'.rsl two or three years I think my own
tovn of Ketchikan would be the most
convenient place for the legislature to
meet and hold its sessions. These,
lywever, would be, I apprehend, ques
tions for the governor first, and the
territorial legislature secondly, to de
termine.' "
That is all that was said about the
capita! question by Gov. Swineford.
He said not a word until it was put
up to him. The reply was purely
disinterested. He gave his personal
opinion that after a while ? two or
three Years under present conditions
it should go to the Westward, but, he
said. "THESE ARE QUESTIONS
FOR .HE GOVERNOR FIRST, AND
THE TERRITORIAL LEGISLA
TIVE SECONDLY, TO DETER
MINE."
The organic acts organizing most of
territories have provided that the gov
ernor should call the first legislature to
meet at a place designated by him. The
legislature then decided the question of
the location. It is not a matter for
congress, and Gov. Swineford's re
marks indicate that he is not inter
ested in the matter at all in any
personal sense.
At the election in Oregon the other
day a democratic go7ernor was elected.
That recalls a peculiar thing about that
state. Oregon has vcted for every re
publican national ticket since she cast
her vote for Horatio Seymour in 1865,
yet in the last score of years she had a
democratic governor for 12 of them,
and now >he has elected one for another
four years.

BUILDING UP
Judge Snyder Says Wran
geil is Recovering.
Wrangeil is rapidly recovering fr om
her late Are according to Judge A. V.
R. Snyder, United States commissioner
at Wrangeil, who arrived on the Hum
boldt to attend the conference of United 1
States court commissioners and muni
cipal officers which will take place
here next Tuesday. He says buildings'
are going up as fast as carpenters and
other workmen can build them.
"The fire destroyed s3 buildings,"
said Judge Snyder, "and was relatively
nearly or quite as heavy a blow to us
as was the San 1-rancisco fire to that
place. Some of the buildings were
small shacks on the back street and
they might not be rebuilt, but all the
large business houses will be replaced.
"W. D. Grant, who had just pur
chased the Wrangeil hotel when it
burned, is erecting a handsome build
ing on its site, and will re-engage in
the hotel business.
"Wrangeil will be a better, prettier
and more substantially built town than
ever."
This is Major Snyder's first visit to
Skagway. He says he is greatly
pleased with the town. He will re
main here for several days.
