late Fire Chief Campbell, which were
held yesterday at the City Hall and at

him to safety. Mr. Gavin was nearly
overcome by the smoke and heat.
"Our beloved Chief David Campbell
risked and lost his life in the per
formance of his duty," said Mr. Long
in his presentation speech. "It is alto
gether fitting and proper that we
should reward those who emulate him
by presenting them with a medal."

will be of gold and of an attractive
design. The design and wording have
not been fully decided Upon, but will
be soon. The selection of a design is
in the hands of the trustees of the
fund, A. G. Long, C. A. Bigelow, W. T.

Fire Chief, his assistant and all mem
bers of the Board of Battalion Chiefs
and unanimous vote of the trustees of
the memorial fund.
Mr. Gavin accepted the certificate
with thanks and then made a short
talk, in which he said he considered it
the greatest honor he has ever had,
to be presented with a hero medal of
this kind and especially the first medal
to be given by this fund.
At the conclusion of the presenta
tion all the officials went by automo
bile to Riverview Cemetery, where me
morial services were held and the
grave of the departed chief was cov
ered with flowers.
Every branch of the fire service was
represented. There were in attendance
also Mrs. Campbell, widow of the
chief: Mayor Albee, James Campbell, a
stepbrother of the chief, and a number
of friends of the chief.

A. G. Long made a short talk, after
which the grave was buried in flow
ers, which were sent in a fire truck
from all the fire stations. A beautiful
head piece was set and then the grave
was covered with roses and other flow

they spread for several feet on all
sides of the grave.

dition to Chief Dowell and Assistant
Chief Laudenklos, were representatives
from all the fire districts. These were

POLICE, FIRE JOBS WAVER
Civil Service Provides for New Of
ficials in Annexed Towns.
Unless some means of evading the
civil service provisions of the city char
ter can be devised, St. Johns and Linn
ton will have new firemen and police
men after July 8. when those two towns
become a part of Portland. An effort
is being made to have Portland retain
the men now in the service, but there
is a question as to whether or not this
can be done.
The charter of Portland, which, after
July 8, will be the charter of Linnton
and St. Johns as well, provides that. all
positions shall be filled from the civil
service eligible lists. There are eligi
ble lists now for both policemen and
firemen and there is a serious question
whether the city can do anything but
appoint men from these lists to the
positions.
