Wrangell became the cap ital of Alaska for three days ahis week as Gov. Ernest Gruening and Mrs. Gruening enjoyed a trip up the pie turesque Stikine river on the B. R. E. river boat to Tele- graph Greek. Technically, when the Governor goes out side the territorial limits of Alaska, the Secretary of AL aska becomes the Acting Governor. The Capital of AL aska, more technicalities. is also the place of the resi- dence of the Governor. The new Secretary, Lew M. Will Hams. has his residence in Wrangell. Result: Wrangell could claim the distinction of being the Capital from Tuesday through Thursday while the Chief Executive was across the boundary line in Canada.
