Swanson of the Berg-Swanson Clothing company has bought the sales rights of a new self-lighting Incandescent gas mantle for the states of Nebraska and lowa. He will organize a stock company, probably, to handle the article, which is causing a sensation in lighting supply cir- cles. The mantle is the invention of a poor German, who came to the United States about a year ago with the idea, but without capital. There is ne difference in the appearance of the mantel from the usual kind except three small, black spots near the base and two dark, vertical stripes running to the top. When the gas is turned on at regular pressure it Ignites a flame on the little, which spread instantly over the r 1 mainder of the mantel, which will fit any burner. The office and records of the Twin Falls Land and Water company were destroyed by fire on the morning of the 1ith inst. 1t parties who have written inquiring about the enterprise will please again send | their names and addresses, prompt reply will be made.
