but waa refused by the owner. The

else th fact In comparing preaent pricea
wlttr rhose-whtctr prevailed at th period
referred to, namely, that pricea now are
not too high, but pricea then were toe
low. I When, we come to eonalaer'the

At that time th quarter block now
owned " by - th -Elks on -th northeast
corner of Seventh and Stark atreeta waa
aold for $11,000. The quarter block di
rectly south of thla waa aold for 114.000.
Thla same quarter waa recently aold for
$116,00. About the earn period tho
half block owned by Trinity church on

later waa aold In two parcels for $11,600
each. Th quarter on Fifth and Oak

price of all the properties Just men

are almply what they-ar legitimately?
