The allottee has an average annual in- come of $12,000 from oil royalties and bonuses She 1s 23 ars old, mar- |ried and has one child. She was re- leased from Government guardianship two years ago, when all the restricted | funds to her credit with the exception of $3,819 were turned over to her.

The scope of the fob as Commission- er of Indian Affafrs may be appreci- ated further from the fact that there are now approximatel 00 employes in the Indian Service, of whom nearly 2,000 are persons of Indian blood, with a total pay roll of nearly $4,500,000 a vear. There are 230 employes in the Washington officd, the remainder of the personnel being distributed in the field among 95 Indian agencies cover- ing some 200 Indian reservations. Weed Worth Millions.
