PROSPEROUS YEAR IN REALTY REFLECTED
 IN REGENT BUSINESS

The past year has undoubtedly been the most active one in the history or the valley in real estate. Not only is land bringing higher prices than ever before, but more sales are being made, and more deeds have been re- corded in the office of the county re corder during the past 90 days than ever before in the same length of time in that office.
 Without exception the real estate of fices of Phoenix have all the business they can well attend to and the activi- ty is confined to no one part of the valley, nor to ranch land, but is equally noticeable in town property in the smaller towns and residential and busi- ness property in Phoenix.
 E.. J. Bennitt & Go. report sales of ranch land during the past six weeks ofa value of more than quarter of million dollars and the permanency Of the new values on ranch land, which is now changing hands, is somewhat re flected in the fact that almost none of the sales have been made to new corners, but have been made to local farmers. men who have lived here for years and who, better than strangers, can appreciate production value of the Salt River valley land.
 Among the sales made by the Ben nitt office are noted the followig:
 One hundred and five acres in sec ton II, north of Peoria. from Martin Bros. to F. D. Pew, the purchase price being $39,O00. It is a matter of note that the same piece of land sold four years ago for $13, 1000.
 Forty acres on North Central avenue. just north of Camel Back road, sold to w. H. Wasser at $500 per acre.
 Forty acres north of Peoria sold for Martin Bros. to Olin Hannun at S4OO per acre.
 The quarter section east of Glendale. belonging to James T. White was sola to Rudolph Johnson, who already owns so acres of the adjoining lad. AIr. White has profitably farrned the land for the past three years, in addition 10 a little better than doubling his money on the sale.
 The 43-acre tract north of Glendale belonging to R. G. Edwards was sold to Luther Warford for $465 per acre. and MT. Edwards and Bert w. Hahn pur- chase from c. O. Pew so acres south of Tempe under the High Line canal. a part of what was formerly the Roy Goodrich ranch, at s450 per acre. MT. Pew in turn purchased 80 acres in the Bennitt & Griffin subdivision of sec ton five, Chandler, and has started eX- tensive building improvements. Other sales just closed in this subdivision which was developed from the desert during the past two years by E. J. Bennitt & Co, were tracts five and six, so acres, to M. C. Graham of Mesa. and tracts eleven and twelve to Nelson Bros. of Lehigh.

The Pay of Preachers

 Lev James Allen Geissnger, formerly pastor or ~ First Methodist Episcopal church of this city and now secretary of Centenary Conservation com ... for the San Francisco Area, announces that the conferences in have voted favoraby on a proposition for increase or saiaries oi 'ne '"i" iste,s of Arizona and California, in some cases amounting to much 100 per cent and Tor the estabI;sbment of a minimum salary that will provide living.
 The salaries of ministers except in a compara- lively few of the and richer churches Of the cities have been ridiculously low. The average in r,a o, the states of the salaries of Methodist min iters has not been in of $500 And the average in the Methodist church is probably not far from the general average of all churches. In many states the churches through their governing bodies have already increased minimum salaries until they now range from s1,0O0 s1,5oo year. But the average salary at the less than that of the average nav of the skilled worker in all lines of em ployment
 Movements also under for the increase of teachers salaries. That will probably be difficult because it will have be done part by securing larger legislative appropriations for school purposes and legislatures cannot be directly touched as the congregations of churches with whom the pastors brought into constant contact
