to raw, unimproved land, not suscep-

here by simple methods which are
easily understood indicate conclusively
that millions of acres OF Idaho land,

GERMAN ARTILLERY
LEVELS NAMuR FORT
[BY LEASED WiRE.J

PARIS, Aug. 26.-The city of Namur
was captured by German troops at 8
O'Clock Monday evening. Three Of the
forts had fallen but six were still hold
ing out according to official reports
given out by the war office early this
morning.
The forts captured by Germans are
Marchovelette, Maizeret and Andoy.
The forts still holding out are Cogne-
lee. Emines, Suarlee, Malonne, st. Her.
ibert and Dave.
Fort Dave was badly damaged by
the German bombardment and is like
ly to fall. Most Of its guns are out of
action. The five other forts lying to
the northwest and southwest of the
city are unable to interfere with the
passage of the Germans along the
Meuse.
The fall of Forts Marchovelette, Mai
zeret and Andoy was due to the SUI
periOrity of the German gunners
They directed their fire SO well that
within an hour after the bombardment
began the chief guns of the forts were
silenced, and their capture was rem
dered simple matter.

BEET SUGAR TRUST
Department of Justice An
nOunces First Result of
Price Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Prosecu-
ton of the principals in the beet sugar
industry for conspiring to raise the
price of sugar throughout the nation
was indicated today as the next step
in the food investigation by the de-
partment of justice.
A report received from a United
States attorney in the middle west
shows that while "a certain beet sugar
state" produces about seven times
more sugar than it consumes, the peo-
pie of the state have been compelled
to pay higher prices for sugar than
have been asked in any other part of
the United States These facts, It is
said, will be presented to a grand jury
within the next few days.
That advances in the prices of
sugar, flour and meat in Atlanta, Ca,
are due to the dictation of jobbers and
wholesalers was reported to the de-
partment by the United States attor-
ney at Atlanta.

MODEL CITY BLOCK
SOUGHT BY JORDAN.
Commercial Club Secretary
Seeks Neighborhood to

Secretary Jordan of the Commercial
club is seeking for neighborhood of,
citizens willing to help their section to
become part of a model city scheme.
Mr.. Jordan said today he would like
to see the residents of some city block
remove barns, sheds and other out
buildings, clean up their back yards
and make their alleys as nice to drive
through as streets.
There is really no use for the
sheds and barns which are standing In

were buildings before the time of fur.
naces when many people stored
wagons were kept and others were
built before the sewer systems were
laid

an equally beautiful lawn on all sides
of homes is being put in operation !
would like to find one block where
that plan would be carried out as q
sample. Unsightly board fences
could go along with. the sheds, barns
and outbuildings"
Mr.. Jordan stated that there are a
| number of homes in the city where
this plan has been carried out, but il
has never been tried as a neighbor-
hood. A fruit or shade tree has re-
placed the woodshed of former days.
Many people, he said, are keeping
automobiles in stables. These could
be removed and small slightly garages
put in their places. An accumulation
of junk usually fills the useless build.
