The engincer, teken ill, underwent an fornia Hospital in San Francisco two months ago. He returned to his home in Oakland and friends reported he was much depressed. Appointed by Ickes. In an effort to renew his interest in life, which they hoped would tend to restore him to health, it was arranged to make him a consulting engineer on the Boulder Dam project, which always had been close to his heart. This was done by appointment from Secretary Ickes July 10, but Davis already was slowly sinking toward death. He never rallied.

He was in Russia two years as chief consulting engineer {on irrigation problems. As a boy Mr. Davis dug small irri- gating ditches on his father’s farm in | Tllinois; as a man he helped sever con- |tinents and unite oceans and directed | huge projects involving the reclama- tion of millions of acres. For 21 years Mr. Davis was associ- ated with the United States Reclama- tion Service as director and chief en- gineer. In that time, the service built 15¢ a Day U es ) R TUESDAY, A more than 90 dams, 15,000 miles d‘ canals and hundreds of tunnels, flumes and other structures for furnishin water to more than 2,000,000 acres of arid lands in 16 States. Mr. Davis was consulting engineer on construction of the Panama Canal and his advice later was sought to de- termine the cause of numerous earth slides which blocked traffic through the Culebra cut. The preliminary_investigation of the gigantic Boulder Dam, involving irri- gation and flood control problems, was carried out by Mr. Davis, and the plan he recommended was substantially the same as that which later was authorized | by Congress. Mr Davis made extensive observa- tions and explorations throughout Nicaragua at the time a canal was first being considered for that country. He established 19 stations in_the wilder- ness for measuring stream flow, rainfall, evaporation and sediment problems. For compiling the information, Con- | gress voted Mr. Davis a special honor- arium. Was Born in 1861, Mr. Davis was born on a farm near Decatur, Ill, February 9, 1861. His father was John Davis, a farmer and nurseryman, who in 1890 was elected to Congress, where he served two terms. |His jmother was Martha Ann_ Powell, daughter of a Wesleyan minister who had emigrated from England. ‘There were nine children. Mr. Davis was the fifth and he spent his first 14 years working in the flelds and attend- ing the district school. The Davis family later moved to Junction City, where the elder Davis | established a newspaper, the Junction City Tribune, on which his son worked as a printer. The boy meanwhile at- tended high school and graduated with first honors when he was 18 years old. Then he attended the State Normal School at Emporia, Kans., graduating in 1882. ‘When he was 21 Mr. Davis entered the Government's service by joining the Geological Survey.

He served in the topographic branch until 1888, when he was assigned to the irrigation branch. There he took part in the selection and survey of reservoir sites, stream measurements and other work connected with irrigation develop- ment of the West. In 1894 he was assigned to the meas- urement of streams throughout the Western United States, and this work later was expanded to cover Eastern streams. Later he directed the hydro- graphic work on the surveys for the Nicaraguan Canal. Investigation of water storage on the Gila River in Arizona was made by the engineer in 1899 for the benefit of the Pima Indians near Florence, Ariz. This work eventually resulted in construction of the Coolidge Dam near San Carlos. Upon completion of the storage in- vestigations, Mr. Davis resumed his hydrographic work, and upon passage of the reclamation act in 1902 he was made principal assistant engineer of the reclamation service, five years later becoming chief engineer. He continued in that capacity until 1914, when he was appointed by the American Red Cross as a member of a board of engineers to investigate the flood problems of China. Shortly after this report was completed in 1915, Mr. Davis became director of the reclama- tion service, a post he held until 1923, when he was removed by Secretary Work. He moved to Oakland with Mrs. Davis shortly after this, and had re- sided there since. Funeral service will be held in Oak- land probably tomorrow. The body will be brought to Washington, his home 10r many years, for burial Mr. Davis and Elizabeth Brown of | Washington were married June 20, 1888 They had four daughters. Mrs. Davis died in 1917.
