Because of the reduction of the British squadrons In East African waters, the slave trade Is becoming increasingly active in the Red Sea. From Aden to Mozambique, the British flag is nowadays very seldom seen at all. On the other hand, the Ger man cruisers are increasing In number in these waters and pay frequent visits to ports where the white ensign was formerly the only familiar naval flag. The secretary of the Foreign Anti Slavery Society yesterday said that there was. no doubt that slavery was on the In crease despite the fact that Mr. Mc Kenna, in the House of Commons, de clared that, after making inquiries, he was led to believe that there had been no Increase in the slave trade.

He crossed the plains to Oregon In 1844 and Wintered at what was then known as Whitman Station. Howard's father. James Howard, was a i - John Henry Howard, Pioneer of 1844, Deceased. gunsmith and a great friend of the In dians, who looked on him as a wonder ful man. John and his sister, Mrs. Sarah Ann Ross, now of Mitchell, Wheeler County. Oregon, went to school that Winter to Dr. Marcus Whitman. John and Ann were with the Indians so much they learned to talk the Indian language, and a few days before the Whitman massacre Ann overheard the Indians plotting the massacre and told her folks what she had heard. "Uncle Jlmmle," as he was, known m aftrr years, thinking It was best to leave that part of the country, packed up to leave, and the Indians offered him a band of horses and two squaws if he would stay, but this offer was no temp tation and after telling Dr. Whitman what the Indians had planned and the doctor refusng to go, the Howard family took their departure orjy a few days be fore that memorable massacre. The Howard family then settled where the City of Portland now stands. Later they moved to Eugene and Dallas and in lSi8, when gold waa discovered in California, they rushed to the minee, in the early '50's coming back to Oregon. They spent several years In Jacksonville and other points in Southern Oregon. John Howard, familiarly known as "Uncle John," often told! of early days in Oregon. He told of the famine of '51 and '52. when money could not Wsy flour or other necessaries of life and flie early settlers subsisted on meat alone without salt, using deer's liver fried brown and hard for bread. This was only one of tha many hardships the old pioneer en dured. In 1870 the Howard family moved to Prtnevllle, Crook County, where they engaged in farming and stockrais Inr. Howard's mother died In the year 1877 and was buried at Harrisburg, Or., his father dying six years later. In 18S6 Uncle John moved to Harney County with his family and made a suc cess as a stockraiser and farmer. In 1S96 he moved to Westfall, Malheur County, where he resided the remainder of his life- He was married three times, his first wife being Nancy Eddins, by whom he reared several children, those living being Mrs. Frankle Martin and Mrs. Elizabeth Corcoran, both of San Francisco. His second wife waa Jane Clover, daughter of Paul Clover, who at one time lived near Albany, Or. The children by this marriage are: James P. and John M. Howard, of Westfall, and Mrs. Julia C. Gilham, of Vale, Or. His third wife waa ElUabeth Tucker, once a resident of Aumsville, Or. Mr. Howard leaves three brothers andour sisters, James H. Howard, of Elmira, Or.; Marcus F. Howard, of Dallas, Or., and Lytle Howard, of Portland; Mrs. S. A. Ross and Mrs. Emma Grlsharh, of Mitchell, Or.; Mrs. Lizzie Blakeley, of Wallowa County, Or., and Mrs. Mary Jackson, of Bellingham, Wash.
