Modesto Shows
Power Gains in
District System

Doubts as to the successful op-
Grafton OF power distribution
system kept completely under the
direction of the Imperial Irrigation
district are dispelled by the achieve
ments of the Modesto Turlock dis
trict in Central California, as re-
ferred to by Lester S. Ready, con-
sulting engineer, when he testi-
fled before the railroad commission
here recently.
Within the first seven years of
its operation, from 1922 to 1929,
the Modesto-Turlock power district
took over 81 per cent of the Gus
toners. 76 per cent of the sales
and IS per cent of the revenue
formerly belonging to the private
power company which served the
city of Modesto. With the excep-
ton of one or two large power
customers connected with outside
interests, the Modesto-Turlock dis
trict took over practically all rural
business and this it expanded mat
erially, the company either aban-
doning or removing most of its
general distribution lines within
the rural section of the district,
said the report filed by Ready
with the commission.

Chicago Grains

CHICAGO, Feb. s. UP)-A rally
in Winnipeg wheat after it had
broken to new seasonal lows
brought good buying into the ma ior
cereal on the board of trade today.
Closing prices were near the days
tops and at net advances of u to Is
cent n bushel. Corn reflected the
improved tone in wheat and closed
X to a cent higher. Oats finished
unchanged to up II cent and rye was
unchanged TO 4 higher
In the early trade prices here were
somewhat easier Trade interest was
centered in the Winnipeg mark ct
whore prices reacted to new bottoms
for the season. The action brought
sales into Chicago since traders
feared Canadian prices might drop
to point where increased importa-
tons would develop.

 Fake Mercy Call

Chicago, Jan. 4, - The brutal staying of Dr. Silver C. Peacock, while answer ing a fake mercy call to save the life of a baby on the far North-side Thurs day night, left authorities with neither definite clues nor any positive motive for the killing.
 Almost tWenty-four hours after the call, his body was found slumped in the rear of an automobile. He had been shot once through the head, and his skull had been crushed by blows ad- miniStered by some blunt instrument, probably a pis- tol butt, or a hatchet.
