W. e people of Portlend gathered to par their personal tributes to the Fir Chief who. by sacrifice of hla own life, has brought honor to the city, msny away from the city expressed their feelings In other ways. From Rtanfordvlle. N. Y.. came the following telegram from Thomss C. Devlin. ex-Councllman of Portland: "New of aad death of David Camp bell just received. Ills death is a se vere lose to th city aa well aa an af fliction to hla family and friends. I extend the most heartfelt sympathy." 'Woman Write In Pral.se?. 2k!ta V. D. Fawyer. of 10 Tark atreet. has communicated the following: "Our late Fire Chief. David Campbell, wa a man whom I greatly admired In every way. He waa a man among men. a thoroughly good man. One of the many admirable tralta In his noble character w hi great fondness for children. It would be well for tha boya who have ao dearly loved him to follow hla good example. "Uvlng on Park and Jefferson streets I hav been used to seeing Mr. Camp bell dally and cannot make It seem that I shall never as"ln see him. I am aa grieved over his denth as though I bad suffered a personal bereavement. The people of Portland will long mourn our great losa. "In thla connection I might ny that some vear ago. when my brother. Ed ward 8- Sawyer, was about 11 years of age. he and Chief Campbell became fast friends. After the manner of a boy, he-was a constant visitor at the Clilef headquarters, where he strove to learn all about how the department was condurtcd. This greatly pleased Chief Campbell, who rewarded him by making lilm the mascot of the Portland paid ftre department. H presented him with a solid silver naago suuauiy ui ecribed to this effect. "I have noted that men and even young boy have paid their tribute to the memory of our late lamented flra chief, btit that no woman has done ao. bence this communication." Similar expression from person who viewed the funeral march were fre quent. All Knrw "Have" Campbell. It Is probable that "Dave" Campbell v.as known personally, to more people of Portland than any other person. He waa the otw friend In whom all liia friends confided In time of trouble. Ha always had a way of helping them. He waa of Invaluable assiatance not only to young and ambitious members of the Bra department, but to young men In other walks of life. A few month ago a young reporter came to Portland from Seattle. One of hla first assignment was to the City Hall. The Executive Ttoard was In ses sion. Th reporter did not -know the relation of the Ewcutlve Board to the city and hla predicament was visible. Chief Campbell waa In the room and saw that the young man waa In trouble. He voluntarily came to bis relief and told him all be needed to know. Valla Walla Man I'aja Tribute. James Reed, a special agent who had much personal contact with Chief Campbell, sent the following from Walla Walla. Wash.: "In the performance of dnty th life of the Chief of the Portland Fir De partment baa come to an untimely end. "I knew Davrld Campbell from hla beginning aa a subaltern and th char acter of the business Interests repre sented ha been such aa to bring m Into frequent personal and official re lations with hin.

A me morial should be erected to his mem ory, to w hich many aubscribers can be obtained." In the meantime th movement started by the newspapers of Portland to raise money with which to crest a lasting memorial In th shape of a pension and relief fund for disabled firemen and their wldowa and orphans. Is saining headway. Before the fun aral. campaign was not actively con ducted, but now It la expected that general contribution will b solicited. John Cordann, an Intimate friend of Chief Campbell for :7 years. last night sent In hla check for 110. to be abided to the fund with the, under standing that It be used for the relief of disabled firemen, their widow and orphans.
