HE PASSED AWAY IN PASADENA
CALIFORNIA.
One of the First Residents of Cam.
bria; Member of Company e,
Ninth Minnesota; Brave Sol
der; Went to California in
Search of Health and to Be With
His Children.

From Mondays Daily.
A message was received in the city
yesterday from Pasadena, Cal, by
relatives, announcing the death of
David Y. Davis, former we'll known
resident of this city. Death was
caused by general breaking down
of the system, due to advancing
years bringing out old complaints
that developed first in the hardships
OF army life. Mr.. Davis moved to
the milder climate of Southern Cali
fOrnia partly on account of his health
and partly on account of members
of his family living in California.
Came Here in Early Day.
Mr.. Davis was born at Llanarth,
Cardiganshire, Wales, in September,
1888, and emigrated to this country
in 1851, locating first in Ohio. In
1855 he preempted farm in the
present town of Cambria, and was
one of the very first settlers of that
town In August, 1862, he enlisted
in Company e, Ninth Minnesota, and
served until the end OF the war. He
was in all of the marches and bat
ties of his regiment, and no soldier
was Drawer or more faithful than he.
No matter how dangerous and difficult
the duty, he never shirked.
On October 4, 1869, the deceased
of Sharon, LeSueur county, and in
1876 he left his farm and engaged in
the mercantile business at Amiret,
Lyon county, and later at Ottawa,
LeSueur county. He retired in 1883,
after a successful business expert
ence, and moved to Mankato, where
he built a comfortable home. About
five years ago he sold his residence
and moved to near Richardson, n
D., and thence in 1908 TO Pasadena,
Cal.
Highly Respected Gentleman.
Mr.. Davis was an honest, indus.
triOus, conscientious man, kind
friend and neighbor. and a loving
husband and father, and he was most
highly esteemed by all who knew
him. He is survived by his wife and
five children, Evan and Thomas J.
Davis, who are in business in San
Francisco, Mrs. Lewis Davis, wife OF
a former county treasurer of this
county, and Edwin and Miss Margaret
Davis, all of Pasadena. He also leaves
one brother, Thomas Y. Davis of this
city, and one sister, Mrs. Henry
Hughes, now of Pasadena. He was
an uncle of Thomas and Evan
Hughes.
The funeral services will take
place Wednesday at Pasadena

This places an added responsibility

we do not want the state to point

WAS decided not TO nrocecd--or not to
have the. chamber OF commerce pro-
ceed with the suggested test OF the
OF the commission :

is constitutional and !. we believe IL is
a good law. BY that token we do not

the program that has been agreed up
on. As we understand II. the sugges-
tion which was tabled the other night
was made In IA friendly spirit and for
the purpose OF Strengthening the new
government. 1t is wrong to assume
that the men who proposed the test
are hostile to the commission; their
act was not prompted by any degree
OF hostility. We believe that practi-
cally every voter In Missoula is
anxious to see the commission gov

people of Missoula. whoever Is elected,
will stand back of the commission and
In every way seek to encourage and
support it's acts toward "A business

PASSING EVENTS.

In one week Missoula has survived
her first safe-and- Fourth and
has pulled through two circuses. This
OF itself In sufficient evidence OF the
permanence and durability OF the city.
When II is considered that the hottest
day OF the season was inserted be-
tween the circuses in the weeks pro-
gram and that the campaign for the
municipal election was all the week In
full swing. II becomes more evident
than ever that Missoula is made OF
good material. IL was a trying week
but interesting: the things which have
happened were all new, especially the
safe-and- sane Fourth and the nut
nicipal campaign. There have been
other Fourths In, Missoula and there
have been other municipal, elections.
But there was never before such a
Fourth as that which was pulled Off
here this year and. there was never
before such a municipal campaign M
that which Is being carried on for, the
election OF the mayor and the coun-
cilmen who will comprise the. first ad-
ministration under, the commission
form OF government. And. on this ac-
count, the experience OF the week was
interesting and instructive. And that
made week of much Importance. We
all learned something. The circuses
were side issue but they were en-
tertaining. The hottest day of the
season was warm until we read of the
temperature records elsewhere and
then II seemed cool right away. II
was good week. pleasant week
and profitable week. We believe 1t
has led US up to another week which
will prove to be specially important
in Missoula's history. for tomorrow
we shall cast the ballots which viii

nicipal government

THE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL,


number of citizens OF Missoula, I'm an

larger quarters for the county high
school are needed. A tentative plan
IL that the present building shall be
applied on the cost of q new building,
one that shall be adequate in every
way for the purposes of a county
high school II is undoubtedly true
that the present high school building,
although constructed within the past
three years, Is not large enough and II
Is just as true that the adding of a wing
would ruin the architectural beauty of
II handsome house of education But
1t Is yet to be admitted that the city
needs the present high school building
for its grade schools. that the strnc-
ture could be used to advantage. II
Is proper that a county high school
should be maintained and II is also
proper that II be situated in Missoula.
