"ALASKA TODAY" BY
ft. W. DENISON GETS
Pertinent review
_
Book Gives Exciting Pic
ture ot "Tho Great
Lend''
Here is a tardy fulfillment of a
promise to Caxton Printers, Ltd.,
of Caldwell, Idaho, to review B. W.
Denison’s “Alaska Today,” pub
lished first in June 1949 and re
vised Februray 1950.
The author has done a prodigious
job of reading and classifying all
available material on Alaska—re
ports published by the Territory,
by Governor Gruening < including
the Governor’s famous Green Book
with its tirade against the 1545
Legislature t, by the Development
Board, etc.
He has written well of Alaska,
and, as the book Jacket says, “Al
aska Today” gives "an exciting and
accurate record of present day re
sources and opportunities in the
inviting land of the Northwest."
The Aleut meaning of Alaska,
“The Great Land” has appealed to
Mr. Denison and he uses it with
interesting repetition, a repetition
of which we approve and which
could be used by other writers to
help establish Alaska as "the great
! land” rather than a land of ice
! and snow.
1 That he has tried to be fair in
presenting political issues is indi
cated by his method of following
a long harangue by Mr. Gruening
against fish traps and absentee
owners with a mention that many
of the canneries were purchased
from former Alaskan owners.
Regarding fish traps, we find on
Page 333 that the governor says:
“I believe it proper that more Al
askans own fish traps. I would like
to see that ownership scattered so

Eatpiro waai ad* are read throughout Southeast Alaska
as to make fish traps available to
Alaskan fishing communities, to
fishing villages, to groups of fish
ermen, to fishermen’s co-operatives,
and to Alaskan individuals.” So it
is not a matter of conservation
as far as the governor is concerned
—the fish trap problem depends
upon who owns the fish traps.
However leaving the Alaska pol
itics out of the book—and they arc
of little interest to any readers but
Alaskans—"Alaska Today”'gives the
reader who might want to come
to Alaska the information he would
want about “The Great Land”—the
information he should have before
he starts his journey.
The chapter by Prank Dufresne,
former Alaskan and once head of
the Pish and Wildlife Service, is
especially good.
Denison’s information about Al
aska’s forests, about homesites and
homesteading should be very help
ful to prospective settlers.
He is wrong about a few things.
He says that the Alaska Juneau
mine is employing 1000 men, re
opened in 1946. That, of coufse
we in Juneau know, is not correct,
but il might send men to Juneau
expecting to find employment in
our mine. Alaska Juneau stock
quoted in the book as worth $9 a
share on the New York market,
has not been that high for many
years—$2 Vi to $3 is more nearly the
price per share.
The year of 1915 is given as the
date of the Treadwell cave-in. It
was 1917.
The left handed digs at the
vested interests, outside ownership
and capitalism (as in his story
about Captain Lathrop—“He quali
fies as a ‘civic leader’ though there
is no tangible evidence that he
has promoted any of his vast enter
prises without considering potential
returns for himself" and “While he
has yet to qualify as a philanthro
pist in a big way . . .”) one fedls
have been added purposely by
someone who may have read his
manuscript.
However, for that, Mr. Denison
cannot be blamed. Another manu
script reader might have made de
letions and added criticism in other

directions.
For a man who has never been
in Alaska, Mr. Denison has written
an unusually good book.
NEW ACCOUNTING
SYSTEM FOR C. G.
BEING INSTALLED
John A. Johnson, Regional Ex
aminer from the Washington, D. C
U. S. Coast Guard offices, will be
in Juneau for six weeks installing
a new accounting system to replace
the antiquated system used for the
past 100 years. The new system is
the result of the recommendations
of the Hoover Commission.
“The Coast Guard has been
chosen as a “guinea pig’’ to see how
it works out before putting the sys
tem into government-wide opera
tion,” Mr. Johnson said. “The sys
tem is based on commercial ac
counting systems and is aimed to
eliminate much detail and duplica
tion, to speed up auditing, decen
tralize operations and to install a
system of checks and controls. The
Washington headquarters office is
now five or six years behind fn
auditing.”
ZURtEL NEIL IS NEW
RED CROSS OFFICIAL
Zuriel Neil has been appointed
general field representative for the
Red Cross chapters in Southeast
Alaska, and assistant field director
for veterans services. He will re
place Wally Read who has been
promoted to a new assignment with
the civilian defense program in
five western states. The appoint
ment was announced by Earl K.
Dombross, regional director of the
Pacific area office in Seattle.
Following his discharge from the
Navy with the rank of Lt. Comdr.,
Neil joined the Red Cross staff in
1946 and was in charge of a special
fund raising campaign this year.
He has also served on a volunteer
basis on the disaster committee
and the speakers’ bureau for the
Seattle chapter.
Neil will visit the Veteran's Ad
ministration regional office in Ju
I neau from time to time in connec
tion with veteran claims.
