MAKES LAST PLUNGE
FROM 81 FOOT STAND
HIGH DIVER BREAKS HIS NECK
WHEN He STRIKES THE
SHALLOW TANK.

San Francisco, Oct. 5.-Towers. the
high diver, made his last sensational
plunge last night at the Chutes, break
ing his neck in the shallow tank. With
a big crowd of pleasure seekers sur
rounding the foot of the slender 81
foot ladder from which he nightly has
been making his leap, the diver, whose
real name is John Mangels, hurtled
through the sheet Of flame on the sur
face of the water, but did not come up.
He had miscalculated, it is presumed
and had struck the bottom with death
dealing force. He was quickly removed
and, although alive when taken to
the hospital, he is not expected to sur
vive the injury.
The performance was to have been
the last of Powers engagement at the
Chutes.

Il CENTRO |S RAILROAD JUNCTION
San Diego Eastern Final Location Makes County Seat the Eastern Terminus of Line and Important Station on the Transcontinenal Route-Surveyors Working Toward City From Coyote Wells and Setting Stakes for Construction

shorter route for trains will be over the Inter-Ca California through Calexico to Yuma, but it will be feasible, if deemed desirable, to keep them wholly on the American side by running to Old Beach and thence eastward.
 It is now settled beyond question that El Centro is the point of junction and will be an important station on the southern transcontinental line to San Diego.
 The Inter-California line to Yuma will be completed this spring, and when heavy steel replaces the rails on the section from Old Beach to Cal exico, trains between El Paso and Los Angeles will be run this way, A branch line through Lower California to deep water at the head of the gulf is under consideration and undoubted- ly will be built in time to take ad- vantage of the opening of the Pana- ma Canal. General Manager Calvin, of the Southern Pacific, went over the route in an automobile last week, ex- tending his tour of observation to the Gulf of California.

Surveyors making final location of the San Diego & Eastern railroad line from Coyote Wells eastward are now in camp on the main West Side canal in Section IS, township 16 S., range 12 east, seven miles west by north of Silsbee. The twenty-five men in the party are setting location stakes, making profiles and estimates of cuts and fills, and when their work is com pleted the line will be ready to turn over to a contractor for grade con- struction. Construction work probably will be under way early in the fall.
 The final location line crosses New River in section IA, and then bends slightly to the north of a due east course directly to El Centro, which will be the point of junction with the Southern Pacific's system and the eastern terminus of the San Diego X Eastern railway for the present and probably for several years. When the rails are joined at Fl Centro, con nection of the San Diego road with the east is accomplished and the line becomes a transcontinental route. The
