| the saw mill of Messrs. Herlihy &; Haas
and was expected to return home the
same night or the day following, there
never being a specific time for his re-
Uurn home on any of these trips, for the
time consumed in handling a tow was
always indefinite, weather conditions
governing.
Mr., Watts found the Folly adrift with
tow of logs, the boiler with little or
no water, the fire within the furnace
burned out and the throttle three-quar-
ters opened, showing plainly that the
boat was left alone while under steam
and continued aimlessly about the water
until the power had become exhausted.
Near by on shore was found pole, be
longing to the boat, and Mr.. Cameron's
Jumper and shoes. In the bottom Of the
boat, which was partially filled with
water, was his cap, and also pair of
dress shoes. On the outside the boats
signal lights were yet burning when
discovered Monday afternoon, another
evidence which shows the craft was left
alone at night. Attached to the Folly
was a skiff, upturned and badly dam
aged, which appears to have been caught
by the propeller, cut and turned over.
Since Saturday afternoon at o'clock
Mr.. Cameron has not been seen or heard
from, and after many conclusions it is
now an accepted fact that he lost his
life in the water. He was last seen
alive and at this time by Mr.. J. W.
Watts, Capt. C. c. Cray, of the Carre
Lumber Company, and others, on his
way up the river with heavy boom Of
| logs.
The most plausible conclusion is this:
The Folly ran aground on the banks Of
the river Saturday night and Mr.. Cam
eron, in attempting to "pole" the YES
! sci off, fell over on the shore. The boat
was under steam, the throttle open, and
she pulled out, leaving him ashore. 1t
was then he pulled off his jumper and
! shoes and attempted to swim to the
boat. He was a good swimmer, but the
night being dark and the water cold, he
became lost, possibly cramps Of the
limbs seized him, and he perished, un-
aided and no one within the sound Of
his voice for miles around. This theory
is accepted and leaves no room for the
supposition of foul play. Mr.. Cameron
always had an assistant with him, but
up to a few days since he was alone,
having a slight difficulty with his en-
ploye.
Monday nights weather was rough
and permitted of no return to the scene
of the accident; but bright and early
Tuesday Mr.. Watts returned aboard his
electric launch, gave the alarm along
the river and searched for the body, but
without success. On Wednesday morn
ing he returned, accompanied by Eugene
Joyner, John K. Ed wards, Frederic
Banderet and Frank Taconi, Jr. tThe
launch owned by Chas. Breath, accom-
panied by Judge Breath and DR.. A. ]
Price, also joined in the search, but
without result, and eyer since, up tc
this Saturday noon, these and other par
ties have been engaged in diligeni
search for the body, dragging the river
and exploding dynamite to revolutionize
the water to give up its dead, but to nc
purpose.
The boom was taken up by the Ed.

Last Monday afternoon the steam
launch Folly, owned and run in the
business of towing logs on Jordan river
by A. F. Cameron, of Bay ST. Louis,
was discovered adrift at point about
six miles up Jordan river, known as
Buzzard's Roost. The discovery was
made by j. w. Watts, of this city, who
was passing the Folly at the time, and,
upon investigating, he discovered the
absence of the captain.
He returned to Bay ST. Louis imme-
diately, called at the Cameron home and
apprised Mrs. Cameron of what he had
discovered. Mrs. Cameron related that
her husband had left Saturday morning
to tow raft of logs up Bayou Tally to

BE DREDGED.
The w. w. Carre Lumber Company
of New Orleans and Hancock County,
Miss, has completed every arrange
ment to begin work on Wednesday next
of dredging the bar at the mouth OF
Jordan river, an undertaking projected
some few weeks ago, and an account
of which was published at the time in
the columns of The Echo.
The work will be carried out at the
private expense of the company, and
the cost will be considerable, but the
Care company have such vast interests
in this vicinity that the expense will be
justified by the splendid facilities for
shipping logs to their mill at New Or
leans that will then be afforded.
At the mouth of the river there are
two bars, one known as the new and the
other as the old. The new is not bar
proper, but "mud flat, and is not
located at what was the original mouth
of the river. The old is regular sand
bar, located at the mouth proper of Jor-
dan river, and it is this one, after max
ing two surveys, the company has de-
cided to dredge.
The average depth at ordinary tide
over this bar is four feet. 1t is planned
to dredge a channel forty feet wide and
about three-quarters of a mile in length,
and a total depth Of eight feet. About
two weeks will be required to complete
the work, and this will be done by day
and night shifts Of men, each working
on a nine-hour stretch.
Capt. Townsend, Federal representa-
tive, was on the scene of the prospect
i've operations this week in the interest
Of the Bowers bill, which provides for
the dredging of the Jordan river bar.
Capt. Townsend is here in the interest
Of a second survey and principally to
gather data and statistics of the ship
ping industry Of the river and vicinity
to justify the Governments making the
move. 1t is not known, nor is it being
generally told, but the first report OF
the survey made was favorably received,
and the death of the Bowers bill then
was imminent, but Congre essman Bowers
is too splendid a public servant, and his
purpose to carry out this muchly-needed
legislation was not to be thwarted. 1t
is upon his initiative this second survey
and investigation Of the river shipping
interests are beng made, and we are
told the Congressman is very hopeful
OF the ultimate success of his bill. Capt.
ToWnsend's visit will be followed by
that Of other representatives of the
Government. If reported successful, it
Will be quite a while before the Bowers
dredging bill would be put into effect,
and, while waiting for this possibility,
the Carre people would lose thousands
Of dollars, to say nothing of the element
Of uncertainty that hinges on the pro
ject.
This is not the first work OF the kind
the Carre Lumber Company has under
taken and successfully completed, for
they carried out a similar project when
they dredged the Tangipahoa river to
float their logs not so very long since.
The bar at the mouth Of Jordan river
has ever been a menace to navigation
and hindrance to business, and its re-
moval will be welcomed and will prove
a veritable boon to the business inter-
ests Of that section Of the county, and
The Echo chronicles this news with
much qualification.
