THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 43 What is the Future of Austin Mill? (Coudersport Enterprise.] A report was sent out to some of the daily newspapers in this section last week that the Goodyear Lumber Com pany, which has large timber tracts in the Potato Creek region, was prepar ing to erect a big miil at Liberty in McKean county. However, investiga tion does not seem to bear out this re port. The Goodyears already have mills at Austin and Keating Summit and are building a railroad down into the Po tato Creek section for the purpose of getting its hemlock timber to the above mentioned mills. Frank Creco has the contract for the construction of this extension and has a big force ot men hustling the work to completion. Then again if ( the company erected a new plant at Liberty it would practi cally mean idleness for the big plant at Austin. It is understood that peo ple in McKean county have made an offer to the Goodyears for the pur chase of the hardwood timber on Po tato Creek and if it should be accepted then no doubt the hardwood would be worked up by a new mill placed in the tract, as it could be utilized cheaper there than by shipping it to the plants at Austin or Keating Summit. If the sale does become effective it will be a sad blow to Austin as the big Goodyear mill there would of a necessity have to close down inside of two years for lack of timber to work. Then it is claimed that there is a possibility that the hemlock would also be worked up at the McKean county plant rather than at Austin. Lane—Hughes. Edward Hughes stole a march on his many friends at this place, by quietly stealing away, the last of the week, and taking unto himself a wife, in the per son of Miss Avis Lane, of Mason Hill. Mr. Hughes left Emporium on Friday afternoon and went to Driftwood where he was joined by his future wife and Miss Rotha Kreider, of Driftwood, and Mr. Smithers, of Renovo. The party left Driftwood on the early flyer on Saturday morning and went to Niagara Falls and were quietly married on the Canadian side of the Falls on Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Hughes is a young lady of Sterling worth and has been a successful teacher in Cameron county for several yearß and is sure to be a true helpmate to the husband of her choice. "Ed." as he is familiarly known, is one of one of our enterpris young business men, enjoying a lucra tive business at this place. It is a lucky thing for Ed. and his wife that the "Ramblers" did not know any thing of his approaching wedding or he certainly would have received all that was coming to him; as it is, they must abide their time and get even. The PRESS joins with Mr. and Mrs. Hughes' many friends at Emporium and vicinity in wishing them a life full of happiness. Terrible Sufferer.
