IniunctiOnal Order Dissolved.

In Judge Grimms court at Jefferson
Monday the injunctional order restrain
ing the city of Edgerton and the Cast
Stone Construction Company from pro-.
crossing with the pavement on West
Fulton street was dissolved. The in
junction was issued the second week in
August on complaint of F. F. Burgy
when work was stopped and the street
has since been closed. Now that the
order has been dissolved work will be
resumed in a few days as soon as
Rollin street is completed as far as AL
bion street. The closing of Fulton
street for four weeks has been great
inconvenience to the travelling public
and no one regrets this action more
than the Common council and the Cast
Stone Construction company.
F. F. Burgy was represented by
Clancy & Loverud and the city of Ed
gerton by G. w. Blanchard and Jeffris,
Mouat, Oestreich & Avery of James
vile, Mr.. Mouat appearing in Court.

the strain of campaigning. Several com.
panies of them were formed and they
were first given the task of constructing
shelters in the Somme district and
around Nerdun. Their officers were
chosen from the engineer corps and from
men who in civil life We're peasants used
to digging in the fields and their
kind of excayating work was different
and they suffered considerably from the
unusual motion of having to throw the
earth upward, or wheeling it in barrows
up steep inelines.
One of the officers overcome this try
ing difficulty by inventing an apparatus
for carrying loosened earth or rock to the
surface by use of electric power. BY
this arrangement two men can do the
work formerly done by ten. When the
earth has reached the surface it falls
into barrows and is wheeled away along
the level and distributed about in such
a manner as not to attract the attention
of the enemy's airmen always flying
about the lines to observe what is going
on in the opposing position.
Special army saw mills have been
started to provide the props and planking
for the shelters and everything is done
at minimum cost.
The veterans SO employed have sus-
tanned losses when working in exposed
positions, but no danger appears to
daunt them and they continue their job
as though they were working in the
fields at home, They have adapted
themselves to the use of the most mod
ern tools, and although the great ma
iority of them had no previous expe
rienee of electric drills and borers they
use them as well as practiced miners.

INDIA WANTS CHANGES.
An Administration Bordering on That
Enjoyed by Dominions.

London, Aug. 10 Correspondence o.
the Associated Press. THE appointment
of Z. S. Montagu as secretary Of state
for India in Premier Lloyd Georges
cabinet suggests that drastic changes are
contemplated in the government of India
and that plan will be evolved to give
| the people OF India an administration
bordering on that enjoyed by the do.
minions.
| In speech during the debate in the
House of Commons on the report of the
commission which investigated the Meso-
potamia expedition, less than aweek be-
fore his appointment was announced, Mr.,
Mantagu arraigned the system by which
India is at present governed and de-
clared that the executive government
should be made more responsible to the
people of India. He suggested that the
provinces of India be made self govern
ing and federated by central govern.
ment, somewhat on lines of the govern
ment of the Dominion of Canada
While this scheme was maturing, Mr..
Montagu said, it was imperative to give
India "some installment now to show
that you are in real earnest, some be-
ginning of the new plan which you in
tend to pursue"
His appointment SO soon after this
speech has led many to believe that the
policy he outlined has been adopted by
the government.
Mr.. Montagu, who is only thirty eight
years of age, and therefore, young
man to attain cabinet rank, has had
wide experience in Indian affairs. He is !
a member of family which for years
has had large financial interests in In
dia and was for four years under secre-
tary of state for India.
