CLARA KKIAIBALL YOUNG.

One OF the most interesting and en-
pertaining screen stories that has been
shown in this city this season was
seen at the Alhambra theater last
night when Clara Kimball Young and
Her Own company presented Miss
Young's latest select picture. The
Better Wife"
This story, which was taken from
Lenore Coffee's novel. The Love
Quest" is a delightful romance OF
ENGLAND and the continent, in which
Miss Young is seen as an American
girl. Chairman Page. CHAIRMAN is
visiting friends in England, when she
becomes acquainted with Sir Richard
Beverly. lady Beverly and little Dick
Beverly, their son The thread OF the
story. which begins at that point, IS
rapidly woven into one Of the most
interesting photodramas we have ever
witnessed.
A cast OF unusual distinction sup
ports Miss Young in this production.

SAYS STOCKMEN
FAVOR NEW LAW
Rev. L. R. Milliken Tells
Benefits of Dudley
Buchanan Bill.

Stockmen and all owners of the
surface rights Of lands bought from
the state but not the oil and gas nights
are well pleased with the passage Of
what is known as the Dudley-Buch-
anan bill which has just passed the
Texas legislature and is awaiting the
approval of the governor. according
to Rev L. r Mnliken. OF Alamore,
Hudspeth county, who has just re-
turned from Austin. where he was
working in the interest of that meas
ure.
This bill provides that after the
present leases expire" said Nr. Mil
liken. that the owner Of the surface
rights will act as the agent Of the
state in leasing OF otherwise develop
ing the oil and gas possibilities. the
new law providing that the state get
10 cents an acre and 1-16 royalty
The bill also provides that any
one can lease 10000 acres instead
of $500 under the present law There
was no fight on the bill except that II
was amended by providing that the
state get that 10 cents an acre
We stockmen and owners OF the
surface rights consider that II is
fair bill and we think the governor
will sign it All Of east Texas and all
OF the best Of west Texas were sold
out with no reservations as 10 these
rights. Later the state reserved all
the rights TO gas and oil when none
but the poorest OF the western lands
were left open Thus those who &C
quired these poor lands did not get
as square a deal as those who had ac-
quired the best lands in the state
Now this new bill makes IL fairer
and the state gets its 10 cents an acre
and the royalty as provided and the
owner of the surface rights gets .
squarer deal and has a chance to
make something out of the oil and
gas. and acts as agent for the state.
SO TO speak, in leasing and developing
the oil and gas"
