PIGEONS FOR CONEY ISLAND-HOW THin WERE TRAPPED AND TRANSPORTED. One night last week a car ar rived at Jersey city from the In dian territory, containing' S,500 wild pigeons, the first installment of 20,000 contracted as .supply to the New York State sporlsmens association. The pigeons were in pens like low, close sheds. An incline plane of slatted framework in each pen furnishes the pigeons with a roost. A slight noise on the outside of a pen produces a loud whir on the inside. When the trap door of a pen was cau tiously opened to allow the re porter to peer inside, the twitter and rustle made up a strong vol ume of sound. "They make a good deal of noise,' said Mr. Thomas, ulut it is nothing to the din at the pigeon roost, M'licrc Tlicxc Were Traiiped. 1 have heard the cackling of the pigeons, as they were settling on their nests in the evening, fully n mile away. Mr. Thomas makes a business of trapping pigeons for field sport. He will get foui more car loads from the Indian territory, making a total of -10,000 pigeons "The business will not be a profitable one this 'car," he said, "because we have to go so far to get them. Heretofore the pigeons have roosted in Pennsyl vania or Michigan. But this year, owing to the late, cold spring, they did not come as far north as usual, and they made a roost in Pottawattomie reservation of the Indian territory, one hundred and ten miles from the nearest railroad station. I had to transport all my lumber and supplies from Atoka, and the pigeons had to be hauled there for shipment. At one time I had fifteen wagons on the road. It took a wagon about three days to make the roost to Atoka. The roost is the largest 1 have ever seen. The country there is thick ly grown over with what thay call post oak timber, from the fact, I suppose, that tree trunks are just about post size. The acorns are so abundant that it is a Splendid Feeding Ground For thorn. 1 went into the roost for about ten miles without finding any signs of an end. Every tree was thick with pigeons, the branch es bending down with their weight. "When the birds have been coming home from the feeding grounds in the evening I have seen a stream about a mile broad flow through the air for two hours, thick enough to hide the sun, and making a noise like thunder. I should judge the roost to be about twenty miles long and fifteen broad. There has been little or no shooting, and that has been a good thing for us, as shooting makes the birds scary and harder to trap. There is plenty of deer and turkeys on the reserva tion, and the Pottawattomies do not care for pigeons, so they do not hunt in the roost. The lndans are verv friendly. Men so about with poles punching the squabs out of their nests. They are packed in barrels with ice, and sent to all the large cities as far north as Boston. My business was altogether with the live pigeons, which we caught in nets." Mr. Thomas explained the methods of the trappers. The nets used will cover a space of forty feet by thirty. One end of the net is fastened to a rope, which is drawn taut, so that when let go The Net It Thrown Out like nn Arrow, Falling upon the pigeons that have gathered in front of it. The pigeons are caught on their feed ing grounds or water beds. When a good ground is located the nets are set, and the trapper puts him self in a hut of boughs at one end of the net line. "When a flock of pigeons is seen coming, a pigeon is thrown up in the air to attract the attention of the flock, the bird being pulled down again with a string. This bird is called the flyer. Another decoy bird called the stool pigeon is made use of at the same time. He- is tied to a perch on the fne end of strip of The Oregon ami TrausColhiciital. iron band about four feet long. A 'nK. duration of tin Oregon himI the flock approaches a string is Trsn-L'onttiuMal company is jxt pulled, which makes Uh spring! jH.tul, and tin? object of i he or- bounce him up and down, and he , flaps his wings to keep his bftltuice. He presents tlie appearance to the approaching ilock of a bird hovering over a feeding gtound, and they settle down around him. "1 once saw si.Mv-soveit iloxen cuiiM-hl t one cast f the net," j .... .... ,, . .,- , t said Mr. ihomas,"bnt thirty or ; forty doxen is nn average big 1 catch. Sometimes there will be only a doxen or ho. 1 have j-ewi , the net lifted up on thv wiiijjs of! 1 the pigeons until it Kftlicd Oul Mi.e n 1'iillimti A number of pigeons toward thej edg are apt to get out, lnl the men :uc quick, and work around the edges, stowing the birds in crates as fast as they get them out, and rolling the net up as as they work in, until the' have got all the i pigeons, wIkmi tla net is set again for anotlier cast. The pigeons are caught on water beds as well as on fefdiu"- "-rounds. A water ' , i , i I'll' . . . bed is made by idling an oxeava-j tion with water. The pigeotis on their way home from feeding will j stop to drink, and are caught under the nets. Sometimes salt is used. "This season," said Mr. Thomas, "the acorns wen so plentiful that th birds did not j lsuve to search for leeding grounds and did iot decoy well. The water beds did not draw well, either, as they had the I'anada river, the water of which is alka- liuine, so that suit also had no attractions for litem. AVe cauglit the most n gravel beds along the river as they would settle down for stones to put in their crops to grind up the acorns." Pigeons are methodical in their habits in these great roosts. Early in tlie morning the Tom flight occurs. This is composed of the male birds on their way to the feeding grounds. "When they have fed and drank, they return to the nests, and the female birds go to feed. The hen flight takes place between S and 9 o'clock. In the afternoon there is another Tom flight, and towards the evening another hen flight. The Writs Sinn (or Gnixcl or W:i1t On their way home from feeding. The crates in xvhich the birds are put when caught are simply large flat coops. The netters are spread over an area of twelve or fourteen miles. Every evenin" the teams make a rouml and collect all the crates. It in now necessary to jet the birds on their feed, or else Ihev! will die. They are put in pens and given corn to cat, with plenty of water to drink. For several days, after they are captured they will hardly cat at all, and st is only after they have become accustomed to the chaugv that the' can be ajain crated and shipped. Two men travel in the car, and the pigeons are regularly fed and watered. The car load xvhich ar rived on Saturday was .shipped on Thursday morning;, and tin bird were fed and watered four times while en route. Pigeons nest four times a season, having- one cs'S to a nest. "One result of the inac cessible nature of the locality of this years roost ,1-' said Mr. Thomas, "is that the increase is larger than ever known before. The number of squabs killed and pigeons netted is insignificant in comparison with the number hatched out. There are millions of them there. These wild pigeons are smaller than the domestic pigeon. Their plumage is a mixture of slate and rrjiv. They have long tail feathers, and are birds of far quicker and strong er flight than ordinary pigeons. The pigeons now penned near Jersey city xvill be used in the pigeon shooting tournament at Coney island. Mr. Davidson is displaying samples of sonic of the cabinet photojrraphs .iiicii his brnncli xallcry has already made in Astoria. It is cx'cn lictlcr than the samples shoxvn xvhen he first open ed here. Each original has received a dozen just like them and so will cx-ery person who favors him xvitli an order. Mr. D. advertised in the lirst nlncc that he would deal only in good work at reasonable prices, and dozens of Astoria people can testify that lie has icopt his word, and hundreds more will be able to say tlie same thing if present appear- l ances signify anything. poralion is set forth as follows To lay out, construct, furnish ami (nprip, maintain and operate the fol lowing railroad uii.l telegraph lines and branches: Along the Botith side- of the Colum bia river but ween Portland and l"mn tillu.
