Walk has tendered his resig- mation as rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church and will leave Council Blufts dw ing the latter part of October to ace the rectorship of Grace Episcopal church of Cedar Raplds, Rev. Walk will suc- oeed at Cedar Rapids Rev, Thomas B Qreen, who has resigned his rectorship for the lecture fleld. Rev. Walk has been rector of St. Paul's church since February 1, 1899, coming to Councll Bluffs from Omaha, where he had been rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd for two years. Previous to en- tering the ministry of the Episcopal church Rev. Walk was affillated with the Chris- tian church in California. A meeting of 8t. Paul's vestry has been called for next Monday night to take action in the matter of Rev. Walk's resignation. That Rev. Walk intended resigning his rectorship here comes as a great surprise to the members of the church, as outside of Senlor Warden Rohrer, who was notl fled officially by Rev, Walk, none of the congregation had received the slightest in- timation that he contemplated leaving. It 15 sald that. Rev. Walk's call to Cedar Rapids came shortly atter Kis return from his summer’s vacation spent in Texas, Real Estate Truunsfers.

DITCH CONTRACT 1S SIGNED Brown & Oompany Officially S8ay They Are Ready to Procoed with Work. LITIGATION LIKELY TO INTERVENE Inelined to Inxist on Contract for Part of Work Being Let to Wiekham, Some Owners of Property - ® the | for A. Brown & Co. of Washington, Ind., firm which was awarded the contract the entire work of constructing the Allen creck and Willow creek ditches of the Harrison - Pottawattamie drainage ditch system, signed the contract yester- day as prepared for the part of the work in Pottawattamie county by County Audi- tor Tnnes The firm signed the contract for the work in Harrlson county Wednesday. The indemnifylng bond required of the company has not yet been furnished. The bond furnished in Harrison county was | in the sum of $5,000, but it has been figured out that the amount of the bond needed in Pottawattamie county is only §1,300. | Brown & Co. do not expect to begin the work of construction before next March, | but hope to get their two dredges and | ficats ready during the intervening months | It is understood that Brown & Co. hav "rmn'h A an agreement with E. A. Wick- | ham whereby the latter will not contest the |awara of the contract of Brown & Co. | Wickham was $6,000 lower on his bid for | the Allen creek ditch, but the auditors of rison county decided to give | the entire contract to the Indiana firm on | its aggregate bid. The award of the entire contract in the | face of Wickham's lower bid for a large | portion of the construction to the Indiana | firm is,not pleasing, it is sald, to a large | number of the farmers Interested in the jroposed drainage scheme, and it is sald | that more litigation will follow. The farm- | ers who are protesting cannot see, they assert, why they should be called upon to pay $6,00 more for the, work than it had been oftered to be done for by a responsible contractor. The fact that Wickham has not up to date made any protest against the con- tract being awarded to the Indiana firm gives reason for the bellef among many | of the farmers interested that some deal has been ar & Co. of more litigation ranged between him and Brown Indfana. This being the case is looked for. Committee Expeets as Large If Not Larger Attendance Than Last Year.
