A KANSAS CATTLEMAN's VIEWS

Fort Worth, Texas, May 4.-Wiuiam Rob
orts Of the cattle firm of Roberts s Weaver
ot Meade county, Kansas, was here yester-
day, Tie has just closed a deal by which he
bought 1000 head OF 2-yesr-old steers from
Curtis Bros, & Morris OF Henrietta. The
consideration was $4,000 The cattle are 10
be delivered to the purchaser in Kansas. Mr..
Roberta takes very sangulne view of the
cattle outlook. and he expects TO see normal
conditions prevail. He does not think that
the approaching presidential election will al
leet the cattle industry to any great extent.
Ihe labor question and the aud lease qtes-
ton may possibly cut some figure MIR Rob
ertE is opposed to the proposed land lease
system, and believes that II Is best To leave
well enough alone. a circumstance that he
looks on as most favorable to the cattle
industry y the fact that tho Western can
try now has money enough OF her own TO
carry ON the business without having to look
10 Eastern capitalists for II, which makes tho
cattle raising section independent in time
OF presidential elections or any other event
that might otherwise disturb the conditions
of tho industry
