D., March 16.—()—It was George Eastman whose name became synonymous with “kodak,” but it was David Henderson Houston of Hunter, in Cass county, North Dakota, whose genius made the kodak what it is and gave Eastman the product upon which the camera maker's fortune was largely built. Houston has been dead these many years but Fargo residents, at news of Eastman’s suicide, recalled stories they had heard about the Cass coun- ty farmer, whose imagination was too active to confine itself entirely to crops and stock. The ‘Civil war was in full swing when Houston first began to tinker with photography, then little more ventions.” record his activities in some detail. Patented in 1867 In 1867, he patented his first camera, and in 1881 he invented the arrangement involving the basic prin- ciples of the kodak camera, selling the patent to George Eastman for $5,- 700. The beginning of Eastmgn’s huge fortune dgted from that purchase, but the camera king had been no laggard in energy himself, starting as a poor youth and amassing the first capital for his business by frugal saving. Houston's share in the profits of the kodak, however, did not stop, as have so many inventors,’ with the first sale of his product. In 1894, he had is- sued two new patents. The basic principles of these later patents also were incorporated in a more modern kodak camera, and up- on them Hoyston received royalties for many years. Later in life he de- voted more and more of his time to experiments in the field of photog- East |raphy, interested himself in other in- ventions as well, and finally became a registered patent attorney in Wash- ington, D.

A versatile man, Houston was 2 suc- cessful farmer as well as a mechan- ical. genjus. Too, he was no mean literary figure. He dabbled in poetry.

Hargraves said he \had “nothing to say.” Hargraves was the first of two men jto be tried for the kidnaping. i People’s Forum Tribune wel- bjects of in- ing with cone ubjects, which unfairly, | or ti and fair play hi will retu: writers.
