DAMAR PEOPLE PROSPEROUS.
Country Tributary to Town Almost
Wholly Settled by French.

Damar, Kan, Jan. 2S.-This town
as well as the country tributary, is al
most wholly settled by French people.
Many of them came here quarter of
a century ago when settlements were
few and far apart. They came here
poor, many of them, and they had grit
and determination to try their luck.
How well they succeeded one only
needs to visit this section and see the
well cultivated farms, cattle, hogs,
their comfortable homes and commo-
dious barns =
They have made money and they
worked hard for it; they have been

barren prairie of a quarter of CEN
fury ago to garden today. There are
no less than a dozen farmers among
the French settlers who have retired
and are living in happy homes in
Damar. 1t is said these retired farr9~
ers, most of them coming here poor,
can aggregate their wealth close to
$45O,000.
Peter SfmoneauSis one of the, retired
farmers. He came to Rocks county in
1885. He now owns a section. He
came here as poor as anybody. He

made enough money so he can quit
the farm work and let the younger
generation do 1t. His children gave
him a surprise on his 5Sth birthday by

GOOD SANTA FE SHOWING.
Earnings for December Showed Large
Gains

The December report of the Atchi-
best showing in months in comparison
with the same month of the previous
year. 1t must be remembered, how
ever, that the 1909-10 fiscal year,
while pushing the road into the class
of $100,000,000 gross railroad, also
showed heavy increase in expenses,
due to maintenance requirements
caused by the previous years economy
and consequent decrease in net.
The month of December, however
showed a large gain all around, gross
improving 14.4 per cent and the oper-
ating ratio dropping from 71.03 to
$3.50 per cent, net gaining 35.8 per
cent, and operating income 46 per
cent. sFhis showing bettered the show
ing for the first half of the fiscal year
noticeably, contributing half the gain
in gross and three-quarters of the
gain in income. AS a result the first
half year shows a AZ per cent gross
gain, a 60 per cent net gain, and a
per cent gain in operating in
come. The operating ratio of 1928 per
cent shows little change.
In the full year of 1eOe-1O fixed
charges absorbed 39.5 per cent of net
income. Should they take up not more
than 40 per cent of income for the six
months just ended there will remain
around $11,282,000 surplus. OF this
preferred dividends absorbed $2S54,-
345, leaving, On this basis, around S.
427,455 for the common. This is an
even per cent and compares with
$50 per cent earned in the full fiscal
year 1910. Figures for the month and

NEW Union PACIFIC SHOPS.
Council Bluffs Will Have New Rail-
road Structures

Council Bluffs, Ia, jan 28.-Work
will be commenced within the next
six weeks on the construction of shops
at the new repair yards Of the Union
Pacific, to take the place of the old
shops in northern part of the
transfer yards. The new shops will
be 100x30 feet in dimensions, and will
contain carpenter and lathe shops, be-
sides other machinery necessary in the
work of repairing dilapidated freight
and passenger cars.
The custom of sending certain
classes of damaged cars to Omaha to
be repaired has been done away with,
which fact will result IN a consider
able increase in business at the local
yards.
The work of putting in the new
repair yards has practically been
completed, and the ground is ready
for the new structure. The dummy
track used for the tool trucks has
been laid between the repair tracks
and the new yards should be ready fer
use early in the summer. The old re-
pair yards will be used for passenger
tracks, greatly reducing the congested
conditions in the northern part Of the
transfer grounds.

ton, that he formulated the plan by
which the reorganization of the road
was effected. This attracted national
attention to him. In 1893 he was

third congress Mr.. Reinhart was ap-
pointed chief railroad expert for the

EX-SENATOR PETER is EIGHTY.

reverts to the part he played in public
affairs. In the current trend of the
peoples will he sees a vindication Of
