All the Juneau fleet, except the Addington, Capt. Sivert Anderson, and the Bmma, Capt. ThomasNess, are in port to remain, and these two vessels are expected to tie un when they conclude their present trips to the banks. Halibut prices are so low that fishermen cannot operate except at a'loss and dealers cannot market fresh fish at aprofit. Most of the fish that has been sold lately has gone into cold storage, buyers spec- ulating on the probability of better markets next fall and winter. Propesal Emanated From Seatile The proposal for a general tie-up of halibut boats emanated from the Seattle branch of the Fishing ® 1 Vesel Owners' Association. It sent the following telegram to vessel owners in Juneau: “If was unanimously agreed ai a meeting ‘her that all halibut boats tie up and sign every un- signed boat owner on marketing agreement with ohject of launching the United Pogific Fisheries as soon as possible. Tying up fleet now will prevent dealers loading up on cheap frozen fish to be used against us. All Are Signed Up “All unsigned owners here now signed up. If agreeable United ‘Pacific Pisheries will proceed to make distributive agreements as soon as assurance that entire fleet is signed, but fleet to stay €pd up until these arrangements com- pleted. Answer quick your de- cision. Juneau fishermen have notified the Seattle headquarters of the Vessel Owners' Association that all poats here will remain in port. ————o NOTICE After several days spent in the hospital have now returned to my office where I shall be glad to re- eplvemy Jatients.

GEORGEEASTMAN PHILANTHROPIST, |Kodak Manufctiles Says “Work Is Done, Why Wait 2" —Suicides (Contlnued rrom Page One) is now Eastman’s nearest relative {Mrs. George Dryden, niece, residing in Evanston, Illinois, Puneral arrangements are being made. The body will be cremated. George Bastman had a philoso- phy relative to wealth, which in his case must have worked Both ways. | In December, 1924, announcing | gifts of $12,500,000 to institutions of higher learning, he sald: “Two courses are open to the man of wealth. - He can hoard his money for his heirs to administer or he can get it into action and have “un | with it while he 1s still alive. T| prefer geting into actjon and adapt- ing it to human needs.” ' Fun For Millions While Mr. Easiman confessed to getting fun out of giving his money away, and there can be no doubt abput that for his total benefac- tions aggregated $59,000,000, his money provided him with a double portion of satisfaction while he was accumulating it. This came about through his development of the Bastman kodak, which revolu- made ‘the taking of pictures a sim- ple operation—so simple ‘that it could be performed by a child. It was Mr. Eastman’s interest in amateur photography as a hobby that led to the development of his business which became worldwide in its scope. He had begun his busi- ness career as an office boy with came a clerk in the Rochester Sav- ings Bank. Purchasing for a vaca- tion trip’ a camera, a crude, cum-| ‘tersome outfit at that time, he de- veloped it from an apparatus which | he could carry on his back. Then,| following a lead which he discover- experimenting in coating needed, as was then the practice, tographic world soon learned that | Pastman was making pictures on | dry plates. Quits Bank Position In conneciion with the manufac- vented a plate coating machine, the rights of which he sold in England | for $1200. In 1881 he quit his lbank position to devote &1l his time | to the manufacturing of the plaws‘ and took into partnership Hary A. Strong, a boarder ‘@t his moth- er's home. 'With the dry plate es- tablished, competition was encoun- tered in its manufacture and Mr. FBastman then turned to experi- menting again with an idea of eliminating the bulky glass plates from the photographet’s necessary equipment. Aided by William H. Walker, an expert in his employ, he | succeeded in placing the dry-plate emulsion on a fine grained paper. Thus began the era of the photo- film and won for Messrs, Eastman and Walker & medal from the Roy- al Geographic Society of Great Britain, New Camera Devised In 1889 Mr. Eastman devised a camera that comprised lensg in- stantaneous shutter and film roll, the first snap-shot camera and the real begumlng of amateur photo- graphy. This became kodak No. 1, the name being a comed word TAKES HIS LIFE: 000 went to Stevens Institute of Cechinology. Born In New York Mr. Fastman, the son of George vashington Eastman and Mary Kilbourn Eastman, was born at Waterville, N. ¥, July 12, 1854. His fathér owned a fruit jursery Waterville and a business college at Rochester.
