The e traeredy In the PoTMknd fire
department occurred June 88, 1911. when
Chief Campbell-lost his life. There are
plenty of firemen who remember the
dav. nine years ago. when the depart
ment lost Its head, literally and figur
atively ; when Mike "Laudenklos, i assist
ant chisf, learning of Campbell's death,
in the eacess of hi emotion, turned In
a general alarm and Dowell was found,
late the same afternoon, walking aim
less around blocks on the east side aif
a mile, distant from the fire, j I
Cam pbell was killed in the destruc
tion of the Union Oil company's plant
at East Water- and Salmon streets.
Among other things done by the fire
men, they had 'laid in a line from
Salmon street across the main floor. The
fire had not yet become real hot.
HOW DATE CAMPBELL DIED
' "I went in there and told those fellows
to take the line out," said Dowell. telling
of the incident. "Johnny Young1 was
standing over on the south side of the
room in the smoke. After I had ordered
the men out Campbell came In. and told
me to get that lln back In again. So 1
started toward the salmon streets door
and. left Dave standing ther ' In the
middle of the floor. Vl never forget
how he looked. Ha was crouched over
a little to getr away from the smoke,
which was piling up against the celling,
aheiterta; hi face with hi arm. I had
Just gotten to th door and wa starting
Across the street when she -let go and
I was .knocked across the street against
a pile of , paving blocks. Young -was
thrown out the front door."
Dowell believe that the explosion was
Of case goods stored in the basement.
The concussion was a terrifio one and
the body of the beloved .chief was not
found for hours (afterwards.
"When the bdys i found his body I
started in to look a it. and theft Backed
up." Dowell continued hi story.

Mike Xaudenklos became acting chief.
Battalion Chiefs Dowell. Jay W. Stevens
and John M. Young took the examina
tion, Laudenkle waiving his rights.
Doweil wa appointed to vacancy on
"November 1, 1911, by Mayor Rushlight
The biggest feature Of the progress
made in the nine years since then per
haps was the development of fire pre
vention, h started by Jay 1W. Stevens,
hattalfoif" chief, - -under I encouragement
from Doweil and worked! up on a mag.
niflcent scale. Stevens .was made fire
marshal and four year ago was. taken
by the Pacific coast fire underwriters1
association and given management of
the coast bureau. Steven la now rated
as the foremost fire prevention, expert!
in the United States nd is ; said to
be on the verge of going to New York
to head the fire - prevention work of
the enure country. ! . - i
The "- entire . departnyent he been
motQrised since Dowell took charge, in
1811 there were just two pieces of motor
driven ; apparatus. " There- are t now 14
engine companies, it hose companies,
two Iireboat and one chemleal com
pany; Ten new houfles have been added
In the nine yeara The: two platoon
system has beesti instituted and the de
partment has 431 men on its payroll.
Chief Dowell wiiK not admit that Port
land has the finest fire; department fn
the country, as some people -claim. He
U glad to admit that -: it has the finest
personnel and mere ia no moss growing
rn . the apparatus but. There is one
great big need in Portland before the
city can make any premier claims, and
that la a high 'pressure system, inde
pendent 'from the-Bail Run supply. -,
"Portland should have a high , pres
A
4 '
sure system by all means," said 'Dowell.
"We have felt the need of it at every
fire. ; We are almost helpless when there
are fires in .the high' building for-
;4unaUly they have been few, but we
are just a liable to have them as any
other city, f
;There are no big streams in Portland
except th f Ireboats. ; They have the
big pumps and th whol river to pump
from. We can hook up two or three
lines on Siamese .eels and on one line
get fair pressure, but' even then you've
only got th engines to pump it and
small mains to furnish the supply. And
If anything should happen to those Bull
Itun lines .during? a big fire, I'd hate
to think of the consequences.
HIGH PBESSCBE WEEDED .
Whit.3ve should have is a high pres
sor system of river water for fir pur
poses only. Put a reservoir on the hills
and give the high pressure by gravity.
Put In a pumping station at the foot
Of Jefferson street in a fireproof build

pendent of the Bull Bun system, and
Portland needn't be afraid of any fire.
The city is Ideally situated for a gravity

David Campbeur asked Dowell. "The
New Tork fire chief in charge of -their

a boat that can get around so quickly
or as easily, and It- hasn't a' boat with
more power than the Campbell. ' I

HISTORICAL COLLECTION f r
There is something els Chief Dowell
has been doing for Portland that most
folks don't know about. Quietly, for
the past 10 years he has been making
a collection of interesting curios and
historical object showing the growth
of th department. There are 10 cases
In the museum at the city hall bearing
Doweil's name as contributor. These
cases do not contain fire department
curios, most of which are at Engine 16,
Oh Portland Heights. Men of the de
partment, knowing of the chief's hobby,
have been assisting him in the work,
and a handsome collection ha been as
sembled. Ultimately, Dowell wants to
ae it all housed in the city museum.
- Up at Unghie 18 are many of the. old
department relics. There are scores of
old photograph and other things Under
th watchful eye of Captain Kerrigan.
Old Tiger 6, the first steam fire engine,

engines. , -. . ; i ,
Out on the lawn Of Engine 18, the
bungalow fire house In Irviiigton where
not one person in a thousand strangers
knows that fire apparatus ; is housed

It was donated by Dowell,? The x
chiefa father bought-it in Nw " York
mor than 60 years ago, brought It by
tearar from New York to Crescent
City, Cal., then overland to Medford.
Whenth Dowelis moved to Portland
it was brought here, and for 27 years
laid in the chiefs basement. A It is a
pleasing and graceful piece of art. not

died off. since retirement. !
