David C. Botting.
The State of Washington loses one of its most useful citizens in the death of David C. Botting, and Seattle, for many years the city of his home, is left to mourn the passing of a man who had won the affectionate esteem of all who knew him. In the industry with which he was so long connected his associates recognized him as a wise counsellor and an able leader; and in the broader field of public affairs, seeking, nothing for himself, his services were always available and almost constantly employed. A sense of bereavement prevails today in every city and county of the state, for he had friends in all.
