share. Today Jacksonville has more
to offer the fruit raiser than any other
city in the state. We h ave thousands
of acres of the best fruit, garden and
hay land within the sound of the city.
The price of our best land is only
about one-fifth the price a;tked for in

Mr. Gleave is a very interesting man
to meet. His home is about 50 miles
from Yellow Stone park and his occu

calls him within the boundaries of the

carry a gun on the reservation unless

allowed to shoot. Mr. Gleave said
that bear come in camp at night and

occasion his wife fed one from a plate
