HOUSES ARE BEING BUILT
OUTSKIRTS.

In discussing the sale of lots this
spring. o. G. Porterfield. who has his
office in the Kelley Hutchinson build
ing. Eighth and Main streets. stated
that the business had been abnormal
this spring, taking the business of cor
responding seasons of the past as an
average This condition exists be-
cause people can not be suited by
renting properties, and are planning to
build instead.
Owing to building lots within few
square of the business district being
very scarce, people are going farther
out along the outskirts of the city.
For this reason the opening of special
additions has been very successful this
dition, near Graves switch. west of the
city, will be opened this year. and after
this he believes that such sales will be
discontinued for the year.
1t is very hard matter to find
houses for rent and Mr.. Porterfield be-
lieves that any house renting from S.
to $15 month can be rented readily
If 1t is in good repair for the rent
charged. Even the higher priced houses
are easily rented when in good con-
dition.
Owing to the cheapness of building
| material this year, as compared with
the prices of this material in the past
year or sow. he believes that there
will be large amount of building 60
ing on this fall In most instances,
the properties will be OF frame con-
struction. The majority of the prop
critics which he expects to be erected
will be of moderate price and equipped
with all modern conveniences.
There will be few properties built
for speculative purposes. He believes
that there is good opening for some
one with money to invest it by the
construction of residences either to
rent or to sell.

FARMERS REFUSING TO SET !
PRICE ON FARMS.

Owing to the fact that Wayne county
roads are in the best condition. all mar
kets are available and the educational
advantages of the country are the best,
J. E. Moore. who has his office on
North Seventh street, states there is e
large demand for Wayne county farms
by persons living at distance. Wayne
county lands seem to be sought as
much as that Of the south, and without
the advertisement in the metropolitan
papers, at that. Mr.. Moore makes a
speciality in farm lands.
During the year he has sold a num-
Der of farms to outsiders. AS whole
his business has been much better this
year than last, although land owners
are holding onto their property ten
aciously. The majority of them seem
to realize they have a good thing.
Farmers are refusing to set price
on their lands. declaring that they are
| satisfied. Judging from the sales made
this year, the tendency is to purchase
small tracts of from 80 to 80 acres AT
price of 500 to 500 per acre. There
is considerable quantity of cheaper
land and also an equally large amount
OF land ranging in prices as high al
1925 and $3.50 an acre. Communities
are the key to the situation. Where
the farm Is located conveniently in
respect to the markets. is near goo6
schools, soil conditions good and roads
always in good snaps. there will be
found the higher priced farms. While
the land in Illinois. Iowa and other fer
| tile states is as good and probably
i little better than that of Wayne count.
yet the other advantages furnished
here are attracting western farmers.
In speaking of properties in this city
Mr.. Moore declared that the hardes
place to rent property is in the in
dustrial districts. This is not due to thu
demand being small. but the exac
reverse. there being no properties t.
rent in such localities.

Real Estate Dealers Have to Say About Local Conditions

supply rentals for outside residents.
Flats and few large houses are about
the only available places just at the
present time, according to his knowl-
edge. Mr.. Fitzgibbons says that there
are ten applicants for every one prop
erty for rent.
In regard to farm lands. Mr.. Fitzgib-
bons says that there are very few good
farms for sale, while there are sew
eral of a cheaper variety. These.
while they may be built up into good
properties, would draw rather heavily
on the pocket book to bring them to
such point.

TALMAGE IS HEARD
BY VISITING ElKS
Address Which Indicates Care
full Preparation Is Delivered
at Tabernacle.
SPEAKER ENDEAV0RS TO
MAKE GOOD IMPRESSION
Refers to Book of Mormon as
Parallel Volume to the
Bible.

'fWe claim the privilege OF worship
ing Almighty God according to the die
tates of our conscience and we allow
all men the same privilege" de
clared Dr. James i, Talmage in 9
lengthy address at the Mormon taber
nacle Sunday afternoon. The service
was we'll attended, owing especially to
the fact that there were many visiting
Elks present, who were stopping ovor
in Salt Lake sunday en- route to Los
Angeles TO the Elks' convention. DR.
Talmagc was the only speaker and his
address gave every evidence of having
been especially prepared for the occa.
sion. lie endeavored in every con
ccIyable manner TO make q good i'm
preston in behalf of the Mormon
church upon the minds of tho visitors,
and if he did not succeed it was not
his fault,
"It is characteristic of the age in
which we live declared the speaker,
that men demand liberty and freedom
in their religious views and forms of
worship. This is the season of patriotic
sentiment. 4 little less than a week
ago, we celebrated the birthday Of the
nation and in less than two weeks
thence we will celebrate the coming Of

Book of Mormon,
The speaker declared that it might
be of interest to the visitors TO know
that the future of this nation. was made
known centuries and decades of cen,
turcs ago. II was made known TO a
prehistoric people, he said, and is set
forth in ga volume of holy writ. known
rs the Book of Mormon. - "The Nor
mon church accepts the Bible de
clared the speaker. Gin all its fullness
with as great n degree of sincerity as
any of the denominational churches
The Book of Mormon is in no sense the
Mormon Bible. nor is it meant to take
the place Of the Bible. but is merely re-
garded as parallel volume thereto.''
Dr. Talmage declared that God has
not ceased to foretell the future or to
reveal His divine will to man. In con
clusion he told how the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter day Saints had been
in this intermountain coun.
try. and declared emphatically that it
would continue to stay here.

Unless all signs fail, the meeting of
the city council tonight will be very
quiet one. The only promise of any

Of the delay.
1t is very probable, therefore, that
some action will be taken to compel
Davis & Heuser to go ahead and com
pletc the contract The contractors
have complained to the board of public
works and the council that there has
been considerable more cGcavatlng on
the Job than the estimate of the city
engineer provided for and havo gwen
that as an excuse for the delay. II is
very probable that some action Will he
taken by the council in the matter.
Tho matter of reconsiderng the ac-
ton of the special meeting on last
Thursday night with reference to the
approval of the estimate in favor of
p. j. Moran for repairing the wooden
stovc-pipe line from the sewer pump
ing station to the gravity outlet sewer,
will also come up tonight, but 1T is not
thought probable that any trouble will
arise over it, as Councilmcn Murdock
and Hollcy are the only ones who voted
against approving the estimate, and it
is not likely that they can muster up
enough support to carry thoir motion TO
reconsider.
The council will have up for approval
the contracts awarded by the board of
public works on Friday for the large
sidewalk extensions III the Second and
Third wards, and also tho contract for
paving Edison street. The sidewalk
contracts were awarded to the Kennedy
Construction company and the paving
to j. D. Hanley. The total amount Of
the three contracts is about $4,000.

REV. R. {. HAYS At

He Says There Is Too Little Vi

ent Day.

In the absence of the Rev. William
NJ. Paden, D. D., the pulpit at the First
Presbyterian church Sunday morning
was filled by the Rev. Herbert Z. Hays
pastor of the Third Presbyterian
| church. The Rev. Mr.. Hays preached
an eloquent sermon on F'Some Condi.
tions Favorable to a Revival of Reli-
glon. He took for his text, Habakkuk
iii, 2, 80 Lord, revive thy work in the
midst of the years. The Rev. Mr.
Hays was greeted by large congrega-
tion and appropriate music was fur
nlshed for the services. In part he
said;

her religious life was gone. and her in

ly Israel's threatened state. and he acted
along the line OF his feeling.
The higher things Of life are in danger
about us, and as was the case In Habak-
kuk's time. the real danger is within,
There is too little vitality In our religion.
The great need OF the churches in our
land Is a reviving OF spiritual life.
But what is revivai2 1T certainly
does not consist in singing, shouting and
general excitement. though, IL may in

Jesus Christ. Those who are revived Will
study their Bibles more. pray more, lead
better Christian lives and do more and
better Christian work. This kind of a
revival will have a telling effect on every
side of human life and service.
How is such a revival To be brought
about? AS the prophet indicates. through
prayer. Prayer means contact with God
and therefore with Gods power, and il
Is this power In contact with prayer that
causes every true revival. Prayer and
revival are as close together as cause
and effect ever are. The revival at Pcnti-
cost, that in Wales and the revival under
DR.. Torey In Australia were clearly the
result OF earnest, persistent prayer.
Then It is evident that conditions favor
able TO a revival Of religion are simply
the conditions of successful prayer, Let
me name some OF them Acknowledgment
OF sin, prayer through Christ. earnest
ness. perseverance. consistent living, and
efforts along the line of our praying. II
