PIGEONS IN PLACE OF CABLES.
Messenger Service to be Established in
Hawaii and Alaska.

(F'rom the San Francisco Chronicle.)
"A carrier pigeon service on a large scale
IS about to be established on the Ha-
wallan islands. Pigeon flying is generally
carried on as a pastime, and is the
naVlonal sport of Belgium, but COM
pany mas just been formed in Honolulu
to utilize the peculiar traits of the
homing pigeons in business which is
set forth In prospectus .as being very
remunerative. Birds have already been
bought and taken to the islands. The
proposition Is to establish lofts on all the
different islands in the Hawaiian group,
beginning first with Hawaii, Maui,
Kauai, and Oahu. By means of fast fly
ing pigeons messages can be sent from
Honolulu to all the towns and planta-
lions on the different islands and vice
versa. 1t is believed that not less than 30
plantations will join the scheme.
Commissioner Joseph Marsden of Homo
lulu, who is at the head of the new com
pany, has mailed maps of the islands to
the best posted homing pigeon men in this
country, and they have replied that Meth
er the distance between the islands or the
channel winds will be an obstacle in the
way of successful flights. Kauai and Maui
are both but 100 miles from Honolulu,
and the most distant point of the islands
from Honolulu is but 200 miles, The best
record shows that pigeons have flown GA
Ga, to Philadelphia. This could not be
done regularly but it is generally consid-
cred feasible plan to fly pigeons over
moderate sized bodies of water at very
fast rate.
The need of more frequent and speedy
transmission of messages between the
islands of the Hawaiian group has been
strongly felt and, as there seems to be
little or no prospect of an inter island
cable for some years at least, the PROPOSE
ton to establish a homing pigeon service
is deemed good business scheme. The
company being organized is to begin with
capital of $4,000, divided into 400 shares
of SO each. 1t is proposed to begin with
a loft in Honolulu and equip it with so
pairs of young birds of pedigree stock and
half dozen older birds with established
regulations. 1t is expected that within
a year birds will be raised all over the
islands and the service will be in full
blast.
A very similar scheme to that of the
Hawailans is also being established be-
tween Alaska and Puget sound. The long
delay experienced in receiving news from
or transmitting it to Alaska has been
considered serious drawback. Superin-
tendent Duncan of the Alaska Treadwell
mining company has secured several pairs
of pigeons from an Alameda fancier and
large loft has been built at Treadwell
for their accommodation. AS soon as
they breed an attempt will be made, after
training the young birds, to fly them
from Port Townsend or some other Puget
sound port The distance is 1913 miles by
steamer and is too much for a bird to fly
in one day. AS a homer makes slow pro-
gress after the first day asystem of stages
will be inaugurated. Stations may be es-
tablished at Juneau or Douglas island,
Fort Wrangel, Fort Tongas, Naniamo,
and Port Townsend.
