have taken their allotmentS OF lana

that the business men make a practice
of letting many of the Indians have

the Indians of interest money Que
them from the government.
Many of these aggregate
several thousand dollars, and if the
Indian creditors should follow the eX-
ample set by Rondeli the business
men who have large standing account
with the Indians would receive only a
