Mirrcred Reflections
By SIG DECREE

Sen. Ernest Gruening has come and gone.
 During his two-day visit he learned a little more about Kodiak and what it is that makes it tick economically right now. His fact finding probing took him to several of the ranches hereabouts and no doubt gave him an insight into their problems.
 The Senator always amazes peo- pie with his off-hand delivery of speech, in which he takes his listen CTS on a back stage tour, so to speak, of developments prior to Alaska becoming a state, reciting instances of opposition from high authority, of how it had to be beat down, and the eventual triumph. It is like listening to an q was there" account of some great hap pening, as it was.
 The faith of the senator in the future of Alaska is contagious. It is not misplaced in our judgement, rather it is prophetic.
 
 Are there caribou on Kodiak Is- land? A couple of our readers were little startled to learn this from an article appearing in a recent issue of Outdoor Life. The article, entitled Moose Of A Bear" de scribes a hunters successful hunt with Bill Pinnell and Morris Talif- son, and in it he stated: "One of the big thrills of the flight inland was the caribou we saw We had good look at several herds"
 We have since learned the hunter had reference to reindeer which are quite plentiful in that area. Residents in the area call them caribou. They are in their rights to do so. The Encyclopedia Bri- tannica has this to say by way of
Kodiak mirror., 1961-11-10

definition: Reindeer, a large Arctlc and sub-Arctic deer, the American species of which is called caribou.
 We have hit an all-time high this week in the number of deaths that have occurred here in any one week. We just learned of the sixth death at this riting-Mostly old time residents. Sorry to hear one of them had to be our old friend Fred So1berg, who had been ailing for some time.
 There is one fact that stands out above everything else in the story of the Carmella-J disaster. The men found a cabin for shelter, which quite possibly saved their lives. It was stocked with provis ions and even a map showing how to get to the main road.
 
 This ought to give pause for thought to those who make it a practice of shooting up, footing or otherwise destroying cabins in off beat places. Leaving map was a fine gesture. Hats off to Joe Zent- ner, who ownes the cabin, and did just that.
 We are getting quite few pic lures for the Special Edition of the Mirror Nov. 24, but would like few more. Give us call if you have some that you think might be of particular interest to our readers.
