The cattle companies pay the money for

y Before committee of the United States
Senate last winter astounding testimony was
brought about in regard to these leases. 1t
was alleged that firms and corporations corr

to secure leases at mere fractions of their
real value; that better offers from outsiders
had mysteriousIy failed and that i'll these
ways great profits have been made at the
Indians expense. Further investigation of
these charges is to be made next winter,

are of no use for the Indian but extremely
advantageous to the cattle companies and
white settlers.

herds should be confined to the tribal lands,
