some, making inquiries as to the
price of land. They did not buy any
thing, but leased some land on the
reservation about two miles from
Blackfoot. They were out scouting
around lately to see what the land
is worth now that they asked about
three years ago, and they find it has
aobut doubled in value.

acres OF land that he bought three
years ago on the reservation, just be-
low Blackfoot. Mr.. Greenan spent
considerable time last year clearing
and grading the land and he is still
