Saw Halley's Comet Josiuh Howell, of Canemah, Tells of Incidents of the Long Ago Josiuh Howell, one of the prominent early settlers of Oregon City, and whose residence Is nt Cnnomah, where he and his wife have resided for the past -tli years, is among the few of this state who well remembers the appearance of tho llalley comet many years ngo. At that time he was only a boy of about six years of age, with his home nt Columbus, Ohio. He states that the comet wns unusual In size and bright, and resembled n rain bow, but having a long tail, and seem ed close to the earth. At the time It made lis appearance the ground wns covered with a coat of snow, and I he reflection from tills great heaven-, ly body ou tho white mantel wns mar velous, to behold. Tho women in the town, whero Mr. Howell's parents re sided, thought that the end of the world had come, and had prepared to make tho best of 'their situation. They expected the snow to turn to oil and Hint tho tall of tho comet to decend to the earth and set It ntlre, and were greatly wrought up over their fancied idea. Mr. Howell says that the comet npenrod every night for some time, nnd everyone looked for It night after night. '.He thinks that this great comet will appear In tho southwest. Mr. Howell also re members tho time of the "fall of tho stars," when the heavens were Ilium Inated by thousands of meteors, and which was witnessed by hundreds of people. Mr. Howell, wns born at Little Rock, Pennsylvania, on Jnnuary 5, 182!), and nfter living at Columbus, Ohlii, where ho had accompanied his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Howell, went to Cincinnati!, Ohio, and from there started for the West first go ing to New York, nnd coming by way of the Isthmus of Panama. After the reaching tho Isthmus they found that they had Just missed their steamer, and were compelled to remnln for ten days, embarking at' the end of the ten dayB on a snlllng vessel. They were five in the party nt the time they left New York, but before they had reached San Francisco, California, two of the pnrty had died of the Panama fever, which was raging at that time. Mr. Howell waa also taken down with the fever, nnd his life wna despaired of. but being of a wonderful constitu tion he recovered. The men were (C5 dnya In coming from New York to California, and the food wna poor and scarce at the time. They were charged $200 for their tickets by steam-' er from New York to California, but as they found they had missed their steamer at Panama, they diapqsed of them for $1(10 more than they had paid. The men were glad to again' aee the land, after a 65 days' trip with none In sight.

He ar rived in California In August, 1S49. where lie worked at his trade as ship builder and contractor, and came here in 1850. Mr. Howell erected a building for Dr. John McLoughlln, the father of Oregon, 'where now stand the Oregon City Woolen Mills. This building was used as a drug store and was In charge of Dr. Steele, also as a singing school, one room of the building being used for this purpose, nnd wus at tended by many of the women, Mrs. Howell being a member of the class. This afforded the early settler one place of amusement. Mr. Howell states thnt the wages paid bv Dr. McUmghlln were $11.25 for one day's work, out as provisions were high tn those days, nnd board at $12 per week, necessitated the high wages. Mr. Howell, in speaking of this ven erable old gentleman, says that he was a friend to all. and was always in readiness to give a helping hand to the settler who had arrived here wilh his family, and whose scanty means had been exhausted while coming across the plains to seek their fortunes In the West. His wife, although of Indian blood, was edu cated and refined, nnd treated the women with great kindness. Many of the women used to visit with Mrs. McLoughlln and watch her make beautiful beadwork. Mrs. Howell, who camo across the plains with her parents, also speaks in the highest terms of Dr. John McLoughlln and his wife. She, with her family, nar rowly escaped the Whitmans mas sacre nt Whitman's Station, the party they accompanied was in the midst of the fight, as they had not enimgh provisions to curry them through to The Dalles, as Mrs. Howell's parents had. Mr. Howell, who is an Indian Wur Veteran, was in the midst of . the fight at The Dalles, when there was four days' steady fighting with the red skins, and tells many thrilling ex periences he had during thnt time, among them being of the capture of the Indian warrior, P. P. Mox Mox," who was a terror to the white people. Mr. Howell was a member of Com pany I, volunteers from Benton County, and during the battle four of his comrades were killed while standing close to his Ride. He, him self, had many hair breadth scapeB. As his company passed through Port land on its way to battle, some of the good women of that city present ed the members with a beaulirul American dag. which was carried throughout the fight. This Indian war veteran, who will be 81 yenrs of age on January 5. is still hale and hearty, and has a re markable memory. His stories of his early life In Oregon are highly inter esting, and would fill a large volume, which could many years hence be Hetteman came to Clackamas County 33 years ago from Canada and made his home here ever since.
