THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1897-24 PAGES. MAILS BY BIRDS|IN THE CHURCHES/SUBURBAN NEWS The Only Public Carrier Pigeon Serv- ice. A Unique Messenger System Connect- = Los Angeles and Cata- lina Island. During the recent poultry show there wes a remarkably fine exhibit of homing pig- eons, which, for practical value, surpas their more showy compantons. It is, per- haps, not generally known that away out on the Pacific coast there is a regularly es- tablished carrier pigeon postal service be- tween Catalina Island and the city of Los Angeles, by means of which, for three months every summer, dally messages are transmitted from the island to the Los An- geles Times, the leading newspaper of southern California. So far as known, this is the only regular- ly organized service of the kind in the world. It was established in the summer of 18M, and for three successive seasons been in active operation, and has the most satisfactory practical re- Catalina Island is the most popular of all the southern California resorts, and is visited every summer by thousands of tcurists and Calfernians. The fishing banks rouhd about the island are the most famous on the Pacific coast. It is here that the gamy yellow-tails lurk by hun- dreds, and the big cea bass and tunas frisk about, offering great attractions to the many sportsmen who annually congregate here. The island is of a mountainous na- ture, and a multitude of wild goats inhabit the cliffs and canyons, and thus lend furth- er fascination to huntsmen. There Is splendid boating and bathing and coaching over the mountains, and altogether Cata- lina Island is the Bar Harbor of the Pa- cific coast—the haunt of the pleasure seek- er. The island lies some twenty-five miles out to sea from San Pedro, the seaport of Los Angeles. It therefore happened that every summer several thousand people found themselves practically “at sea.” A steamer lands at Avalon, the chief resort on the island, once a day, at 6 p.m., and returns to the mainland at 7 o'clock the following morning. From this it will be seen that all communication from the mainland was cut off for twenty-four hours. This proved to be a serfous draw- back, not only to business men, but to the merning papers, for which correspondence must, of nece: y. be sent over twenty. four hours in advance of its possible publi- cation. The difficulty was solved by two bright yeung men, the Zahn brothers of Los An- geles, who decided to try what could be done with carrier pigeons. The air line from Los Angeles to Avalon is fifty miles. The training began and the birds were placed in a basket and carried a mile or so away from the loft in the direction of the and liberated. Gradually each day lance was increased till San Pedro then the birds were taken on board the steamer and released when a few miles out from shore, till finally the entire distance as compassed and the task was accom- plisked. The carriers had learned their lesson in geography. and, when released, would fly without fail across the sea over the land to their home. At first the plan was merely to convey private messages for individuais, but the Times at once seized the idea of having its daily bulletins from Avalon brought over by these swift- winged messengers of the air, instead of allowing the news to srow cold by await- ing the slow motions of the steamer, and so it came about that the homing pigeon service was brought into requisition where- by messages i leave the island as late an ‘h the for publication morning. The quickest time ever made by these fleet couriers is fifty- four minutes—a rate of speed of nearly a mile a minute. The message is typewritten on the thinnest of tissue paper, sufficient r to fill a column when printed being tly sent on a single bird. It is fold- mpactly rolled, inc ‘d in a slip ‘oot paper. the whole being about round as a lead pencil and about i. This is then securely wired leg. but loosely enough to not progress or annoy the little mes- . and then the tiny. palpitating, flut- < bird is tossed into the air along with two or three companions, and presently the Kittle flock melt Into infinitesimal specks as unt higher and higher and dart off the sea homeward bound. A failure rarely occurs, but occasionally a lazy bird prolongs his air voyage to such an extent that he does not reach the home loft till the following day. Some amusing things, therefore. happen. For instance, during the height of the season, when it is necessary, on account of its length, to divide the letter into two sectior ng one to each bird, it has sometimes happened that the carrier bearing section No. 1 failed to get in, while section No. 2 reached its destina- tion in safety. This is a source of annoy- ance and mortification to the unhappy cor- respondent, whose letter literally “begins in the middle,” on such occasions. One pathetic incident happened during the season of ‘96. The bird “Tatters,” bearing the message, failed to arrive at the home loft, and no reason was known for the de- lay, till the following day, when the editor of the Times received a@ letter from a rancher residing at Clearwater, a point about half way between Pedro and Los Angeles, stating that he had found a dead carrier pigeon that morning, lying near his barn, and attached to its leg was a mes- sage addressed to the Times. The bird had apparently died from exhaustion. The thoughtful man had detached the message, inclosed it In an envelope and forwarded it by mail to its destination. The following day it appeared in print, under the pathetic heading, “‘Tatters’ Last Message.” The man who first introduced carrier pigeon service into American journalism was the elder James Gordon Bennett of the New York Herald, in 1850. At that time there was no Atlantic cable telegraph, and all the news came across the ocean by steamer. Mr. Bennett bought a discarded pflot boat and stationed it off Sandy Hook. When a@ westward-bound steamer came along a reporter was put on board of her with three carrier pigeons. He wrote out on tissue paper his report of the most im- portant European news, condensed as much as possible, and sent it back tled to a pigeon’s leg. Before the steamer could reach her wharf the “extras” containing the news brought by her were being hawked about on every thoroughfare be- tween the Battery and Canal streets. When the steamer Illinois arrived off Sandy Hook, in June, 1856, she had the news of the uprising of the San Francisco vigilance committee. It fs said that the Herald had sold 13,000 copies of this “extra” by the time the Illinois reached her dock, having been detained an hour at the quarantine station by the heaith offi- cers. The magnetic telegraph between New York and Sandy Hook was established in 1858 and the pigeon service was then aban- doned. > Acts Approved.
