THE WRONG MR.. RIGHT. BY Berta
Ruck. Dodd, Mead & Co.

A S one reads this story there is
~ a growing consciousness Of
an oddly familiar flavor
where have we tasted this before? !?
1t finally dawns on you that after
all it is precisely the good old story
that our grandmothers delighted in
and to which their mothers objected
as wicked novel reading" The OBJ
lection Of wickedness has paled to-
day and the thing wears a strikingly
different dress, but it Is essentially
unaltered from the day when it
reached it's strongest flavor with the
Brontes. Once upon time it was
poor governess; now it may be a
stenographer. Then it was widower
with three small children; now it
may be any kind of employer. But
the theme is the same.
The modern version is sprightlier
and it's action is not delayed by
pages OF sentimental reflection. There
is nothing highfalutin about it, and
there is at least an appearance of
efficiency. 1t is as harmless as its
ancestor-and as harmful. The one
stirred up the unhappy governesses
and "superfluous" women; this stirs
up the stenographer. But have
women really changed not at all since
the early Victorian age, in spite of
the, vote and the more horrific mani
festations of feminism?
This specimen is cleverly done. It
is an affair of mildly innocent decep-
tions that lead to complications; the
lady becomes an heiress, is engaged
to the wrong man. is relieved of her
money and nlarries the right one.
1t is not without humor and is an
entertaining narrative.

THE IDOL OF PARIS BY Sarah
Bernhardt. The Macauley Company.
TF any lesser name were given as
that of the creator of this book
it may be suspected that it
would not attract any very wide at
tention, for, 1t must be confessed. the
divine SARAH does not shine as a
story teller with much of the bril-
liahcy of her actual personality on
the stage, or of the piquancy of the
abundant and more or less authentic
gossip about her life away from the
footlights. An out and out autobiog
raphy. especially if it were frank,
might be quite another matter. Pos
sibly she will. some day, oblige us
with that. and, in the meantime, We
are openly asked by the publishers
to accept this story as-possibly-
photographed. Viewed in that
light. it is not very convincing. 1t
has too much of the stiffness and
rigfdity of a posed figure, and is, at
best mo more than fairly well made
conventional romance.
Perhaps the authorship leads one
toeexpect too much. The story in
itself win do well enough as a pic
turesque but highly theatrical ac-
count of stage life and high society"
of generation ago. The heroine of
the book, Esperance, is an unmiti-
gated genius as an actress. who
gains her first success at the age of

dou as an authentic prodigy. There

yond the standard of French duels,
according to the comic papers) and
final emergence into, happiness.
There are some excellent scenes, and
there are few really stately figures
among the aristocrats and few vivid
ones among the theatrical folk.
Actual people, like Sardou, wander
in and out of the narrative. and are,
for the most part, good figures. One
gets a glimpse Of Mounet-Sully. and
even of Mile. Mars and the great
Rachel, in the background. Ip fact.
the background and the mise en-
scene of the whole thing are much
more convincing than any of the
personages who appear-as. actors.
One feels, on the whole, that Madame
is not at her greatest in the present
role.

THE HERITAGE OF THE HILLS.
BY Arthur Preston Hankins. Dodd.
Mead & Co.
"HE necessary modern knight
errant, comes riding pleas
antly into the dreams of
Jessamy. the one really nice girl
among the very undesirable people
of the hills known as the Poison
oakers." 1t is in the Sierras, where
SO many queer things keep on hap
pening in modern fiction. There is
plenty of fighting and an unusually
complete cleansing carnage at the
end. There is also a secret, which
must not be betrayed If the reader
is after mystery: it is really a very
good secret and Mr.. Hankins works
it in nicely. OF course there is, or
was, a mine and a large assortment
of outlaws. 1t is a substantial
thriller" with some individual frills
a little out of the common. The book
has a real feeling for the big out
doors, some pretty description and
a sufficiently plausible scenario.

MOORE To POLL
BIC IDAHO VOTE
Will Sweep Southeast
and North Is the
Prediction.
Especial Dispatch.)

IDAHO FALLS-C. c. Moore will
carry southeastern Idaho by a big
majority. This is the conclusion
reached Monday in the closing hours
of the campaign as a result of a
thorough canvass of the situation in
this end of the state.
Mr.. Moore was greeted with a real
ovation here Monday afternoon when
he concluded his campaign with big
afternoon gathering. He has devoted
the last eight weeks of the campaign
to southwestern, southern and south
eastern Idaho. Everywhere distinct
assurance of decided turn in his favor
greeted him.
Not only will Mr.. Moore carry this
section of the state by large majority
estimated at 5000 votes as a minimum
but the entire state and congressional
Republican ticket will sweep this part
of the state. This forecast is based
upon careful survey of the scituation
and is reliable.

Entire Ticket.

Democratic candidates for every
county office will be elected in this
county, according to prediction made
late Monday afternoon by S. Ben Dun
lap, Democratic county chairman. Not
only will the county ticket be elected,
in Mr. Dunlap's opinion, but NJ Alex
ander, the Democratic nominee for
governor. will sweep the county as will
every other state candidate. AS to
probable pluralties, Mr.. Dunlap de-
clined to make an estimate but ex-
pressed the belief that Democrats
would carry the county handily. Mr.
Dunlap also declined to express AL
opinion as to the final standing of the
three candidates for governor more
than to say that Alexander would leat
the field in Canyon county,

Fred Mitchell Predicts
Success of Entire C. 0.
P. Ticket In Canyon
County.

Canyon county will go for Moore
by 500 votes today and the entire
county Republican ticket will be
elected.
This was the forecast made Mon
day afternoon on the eve Of the cleo
ton by Fred Mitchell, Republican
county chairman.
so far as the contest in this county
for governor is concerned, am con-
vinced that Moore will carry the coun-
ty by at least 500 votes" Mr.. Nit
chell said. This estimate is based
on a pretty thorough poll of the
county AS matter of fact, | should
not be surprised in Mr.. Moore's plur-
ality is much greater than my esti-
mate.
Governor Davis, it will be recalled,
carried the county two years ago by
about $50 votes over S. D. Fairchilds,
Nonpartisan candidate. T. A. Walters
Jagged 1000 votes behind. | believe
that Alexander will cut into the Pro-
gressive vote but that he, just as Mr..
Walters did two years ago, will run
in third place in this county,
while Governor Davis carried the
county by $50 votes at the last cleo
ton, c. c. Moore rolled up plurality
of 1850 votes. Mr.. Moore is popular
personally with the public. l am sure
that as candidate for governor he
will hold the votes he received two
years ago when he was running for
lieutenant-governor.
"The county situation is compli-
Gated by various local matters that
may react upon the vote cast for any
particular candidate on any ticket.
Republican candidates for county Of
flee are the best possible candidates
that could be selected for the offices
they seek. Everyone is capable of
ably filling the office to which he as
pires. Republican county candidates
have conducted clean campaign.
They are standing upon their records.
| believe that the voting public is fair
enough to realize these facts, is fami-
liar enough with the policies of eco
nomy carried on by the Republican
administration in this county, that they
will again support and elect Republi
cans to county office in this county.
Many charges have been directed
at the Republican county administra-
ton. But the fact that your county
tax levy has been reduced is the best
answer to these charges. That is
where the business like administration
given Canyon county during the past
two years shows up and discounts at
once all those ISLANDERS that have been
passed around. They have no basis in
fact and l believe that Canyon county
voters will properly ignore them at the
election today.

CITY EXHAUSTS
BANK BALANCE,
! ISSUE WARRANT IS
Cash Is Gone With Two
Months to Run But
Finances Are In Good
Shape.

November city warrants will be reg
istered and draw seven per cent until
taxes, accruing iii December. make it
possible to redeem them This is the
first time IN many years that the city
warrants have not been backed by
cash deposits.
Announcement was made Monday
by w. c. Dyer, city treasurer, that the
citys working capital had been ex-
hausted and that interest would have
to be paid ON warrants, representing
the cost of operating the city.
This years budget has not been ex-
ceeded, Mr.. Dyer explained Monday.
AS matter of fact. the city, despite
tax delinquenoies, would have had
sufficient cash to continue operations
ON a cash basis until new taxes came
in, but for unforeseen circumstances.
Because of great margins in favor of
cash bids for work on sewer district
No. 10 and additions to sewer district
No. 9 construction, cash bids were
accepted This work was financed
from the general fund and bonds, to-
failing $l3,500, to replace the expendi-
lures, have not been sold. Bond mar
kets have been wavering of late and
only $500, the district No. 9 item,
can yet be legally sold even if condi-
tions warranted their Disposal. District
No. 10 bonds are not yet ready for
sale.
This year the city has called for re-
tireinent $43,o2373 of former bond
issues. This showing is regarded as
clean-cut evidence of the healthy fl
nancial condItion of the city. OF this
total. $500 in bonds have not been
presented for payment, but funds are
one deposit to cover the bonds.
AS matter of fact, the city is not
broke" About $4,000 is on deposit
But $4,000 is in the cemetery savings
account and the water works fund
$500 lis for bond retirement pur-
poses and only $400 is available for
general operating purposes.
City water works warrants are cash,
this department being seif-supporting.
