FEW FIRES IiAID TO CAMPERS Outing Parties SUrt Larger Blazes in Santiam Forest, However. ALBANY, Or.. Aug. 15 (Special.) About one-third of the forest fires in this section of the state this year have been started by campers. F. H. -Brun-dage, supervisor of the Santiam Na tional Forest, says there have been 15 fires, small and large In the Santi am Forest and that most were started by lightning. While outing parties have started only a few of the fires, those they have started have been the large ones. The reason of this Is that fires started by lightning come either with a rain or the rain falls Immediately after, so that it is always easy to extinguish them. On the other hand, outing par ties are always in the mountains on dry days and the fires they start by accident or through carelessness gen erally spread rapidly.

COMMITTEE BARES SCHEME Petitions to Be Out Monday, Is An nouncement, and Public Must . Decide Executive Is De- . fended' by Secretary. Plans for the circulation of petitions for a recall election against Mayor Albee and City Commissioners Dieck and Brewster were announced yester- dav bv a committee made up of M. Gibson, A. C. Allen and C. W. Hohlt, who said they had the backing of sev eral commercial. Improvement and business organizations. The oetitlons. the committee mem bers said, have been printed and will be on the street tomorrow morning. Incompetency, injudicial expenditure of money, inefficiency, extravagance. heedlessness of the welfare of the pub lic, are the general charges recited against the officials. Specific charges against Mayor Albee are to the effect that he has violated his oath of office by retaining his position as general manager of an insurance company; is unfit for office because of "wabbly policies" and lack of efficiency and stability and has discharged without Just cause many worthy employes. Commissioner Dieck Is specifically charged with lack of Judgment, ext ravagance, inefficiency and lack or stability. Charges against Commls- loner Brewster are 'similar to those against Mr. Dieck. Campaign Said to Be New. The committee disclaims any connec tion with the recall movement pro moted several months ago, insisting that this is an entirely new and inde pendent campaign which will be pro moted absolutely m me open, wnue the only names that have appeared definitely In the movement are those of the members of the committee, it is said there are a number of others who are taking leading parts. Among those mentioned are B. E. Kennedy, who was campaign manager for Mayor Albee, and J. C. Lane, a former sanitary and meat inspector, who was dismissed re cently. The - official announcement of the campaign plans, signed by Messrs. Gibson, Hohlt and Allen, reads as fol lows: - "This committee, consisting of A. C. Allen, C W. Hohlt and M. E. Gibson, l was elected by reason of the wide spread dissatisfaction with the pres ent administration. , Volunteer to Do Work.' "Some time ago recall petitions were circulated. Of these petitions this committee knows nothing. The new petitions, which will be circulated by volunteer workers only, will be on the street Monday. "Nothing will be spent In circulat ing these petitions. If the public wants to sign them, that is all that is required, This committee will make no effort to force the Issue. There is a feeling generally expressed by the citizens for the recall of Mayor Albee and other members of the administra tion. If these petitions are not readily de-nftri thev will be at once witnorawii and the present administration will continue. "This committee is the nucleus of various committees that have been or ganized. " It will accept absolute re sponsibility for initiating the petitions. Public's Attitude to Tell. "But there is a greater responsibil Ity, that of signing and then filing them. The nubile must accept this responsibility. If me people sign these petitions readily it will be as sumed that they are eager for the re tirement to private life of those mem bers of the Commission who have shown themselves both Inefficient and heedless of the welfare of the public "This recall action is taken against H. R, Albee, Mayor; W. L. Brewster ana Robert G. Dieck, Commissioners. These three men form the majority of the Commission. They have taken repeated action opposed to both the business and labor elements of Portland. They have been condemned by civic bodies. by business organizations, by the best women of the city and by tne pudiic generally. This must mean tuat their retirement is generally desired. "We realize that the recall must be entirely a popular movement. This committee has no ax to grind. It asks no position, Job or favor of any kind. "Donation Are Made." "Ernest C. Heald, who has offices at 423 Lumbermens building, will do the notarial work, and headquarters will be maintained at that place. Other citizens have donated stenographic services. .Donations of all kinds of supplies and services have been made. "Hence we consider this dissatisfac tion with Messrs. Albee, Brewster and Dieck is general. We leave it to the public to say whether this dissatisfac tion shall go further by officially re calling these gentlemen and retiring them from office." M. E. Gibson, a member of the com mittee. Is a manufacturer or surgical supplies ana nas an oiuce at tu9 ure gonlan building. During the campaign leading up to the election of Mayor Albee, Mr. Gibson was a candidate for Mayor, but withdrew in favor of Mr. Albee. C. W. Hohlt is with the Baron- r'ulop Company, wholesale clothiers. He was a candidate in the recent pri mary election for the Republican nom ination for County Commissioner. He was defeated. A. C Allen is an attor ney, a member of the firm of Allen & Roberts, with offices in the Swetland building. Mr. Gibson and other members of, the committee refuse to mention any other names of persons involved in the movement. They also refuse to give the names of the commercial and other bodies which tfiey say are behind the recall plan. Mr. Gibson said the "re call spirit has been growing stronger for months past and that the upshooi of this growing feeling is the appoint' ment of the committee." The appoint ment of the three men comprising the general committee was made, Mr. Gib son says, by the representatives of the various organizations and persons in terested in the recall. All three officials against whom the recall is directed are out of the city, Mayor Albee having been away for a week and Commissioners Brewster and Dieck having left yesterday for week end trips. All will be back tomorrow. In behalf of Mayor Albee, Will H. Warren, his private secretary. Issued a statement in which he says .the Mayor will not be worried by the recall move ment. "I have no definite knowledge as to what this latest edition of the recall consists of or who are the moving spirits behind it," said Mr. Warren yesterday, "but as the Mayor is absent from the city, on his behalf I will say that he is not worried about It. "Mayor Albee, to my personal knowl edge, has devoted his entire time. working long hours daily for what he earnestly believes to be for the best interests of the general public regard less of the efforts of individuals or or ganizations of lndivlduls to 'start' things to harass or embarrass him therein. "As I understand his position, it is that he was elected by the people of Portland to administer their affairs in accordance with . his best Judgment at all times. It is the right of every citizen to question any act of an offi cial, to differ with him as to policies and. If so wishing, to vote to recall him. "Having at all times, since he as sumed the, duties of the executive office, exercised conscientiously his best lodgment on public affairs, the Mayor is perfectly willing to abide by the result of any election that may be held and where the facts are fairly presented. At no time since nis inauction into office more than a year ago has Mayor Albee allowed these frequent reeall agitations to disturb his calm peace of mind or to swerve him for a moment from what he believes to be right. Neither will he in future, if I may Judge the man. The demands on his time are too many and the importance of his multitude of duties far too vast to permit of his spending any part of his long office hours or his leisure moments on such trivialities as firmly believe this latest recall at tempt to be." 3 DEAD.

HOW TO PREVENT ACID SI0MACHS AND FOOD FERMENTATION Hr Stomach prrlalla. As a specialist who has spent many tears In the study and treatment of atnmsch troubles, I have been furved to the con clusion that most people who complain of stomach trouble possess stomachs that ar absolutely healthy and normal. Tha real trouble, that hlrh causes all the pain and difficulty, is excessive acid In the stomsch. aggravrted by food fermentation. Hyper acidity irritates the delicate lining uf the stomach and food fermentation causes aitid which distends tha stomach abnormally. causing that full bloated feeling. Thus both acid and fermentation Interfere with and re tard tha process of digestion. Th stomach Is usually healthy and normal, but irritated almost past endurance by these foreign ele- ment acid and wind. In all sui h cases - and they comprise over 90 per cent uf all stomach difficulties the first and only step necessary Is to neutralise the acid and stop the fermentation by taking In a little warm cold water Immediately after eating, from one to two teaspoonfuls of Msuratcd magnesia, which la doubtless the best and only really effective antacid and food cor rective known. The acid will be neutralised and th fermentation stopped almost In stantly, and your stomach will at once pro ceed to digest th food In a healthy, normal manner. Be sure to ask your druggist for the blsurated magnesia, as 1 have found other forms utterly lacking In Its pecul iarly valuable properties J. U. Adv. It
