CARRIER PIGEONS
FOR KETCHIKAN
TO BE ESTABLISHED ON THE
KETCHIKAN-WATEKFALL
ROUTE
Ie speaking of preparedness, life
saving aparatuses and the organixa
tien of great syndicates vre might
Mention that Mr. Fremont King of
Ketchikan has combined the three
and the result will he quick action
as vre'! as savingy of time and
money.
A brief synopsis of the scheme is
as follows:
I'hile hi Seattle Mr. King pur
chased a number of carrier pigeons,
all squabs, and to carry out his
plan he will home a part of them
in Ketchikan while the balance will
be established at Waterfall, Prince
of Wales Island, where the origin
ator of this practical scheme is in
terested. Especially during the
summer the operation of the com
pany boats between waterfall and
Ketchikan are frequent and to gatird
against any long delay or possible
less of life and property in passing
a number of dangerous capes between
the two places each boat on leav
»k Ketchikan or Waterfall will have
one of these pigeons as a passenger
and in case anything goes wrong
the aerial mail carrier will be re
leased and in less than one hour
it will be known either at the plant
or in Ketchikan, depends from which
place the boat started.
It can readily be seen that the
scheme is a good one and the orig
inator deserves much commendation.
We have oar ears to the ground
listening for any sign that might
intimate the intention of incorpor
ating the scheme as we believe it
to be a good one. Any inquiries
made of Fremont King at the Ton
gas,;■ Trading Co. wffl lead to an
enlighSment along the more tech
nical points of the scheme.
