Loleta To Be Abandoned.
Last week the last log was sawed on
the big mill at Loleta, a bustling lumber
ing town located just over the Hue In Elk
county, and about five miles from
Marienvllle, where the Central Pennsyl
vania Lumber Co. bas been operating for
tbe past four or five yeara. Tbe large
tract of land wbicb a few years ago was
coveted witb choice virgin hemlock, baa
now been denuded, and the I u in her bas
been sent to all parts of this broad coun
try. Tbe village ol Loleta has been a
prosperous one, and is on tbe borderland
of Elk county, just within tbe confines of
tbe lines, which separate that county
from Forest. It was founded by Col,
Amsler snd Joseph C. Campbell, two
former well known and enterprising
citizens of Marienvllle, who lumbered
there for several years. But Loleta must
now go the way of tbe other lumber vil
lages, and die a natural death, now that
its large and ouly Industry bas ceased
operation, wbicb bad afforded employ
ment to many mill men.
Year after year the remaining standing
timber of what was once supposed t ) be a
limitless lorest, is becoming less and less,
and soon tbe grinding tee b of the saw,
and tbe rytbm and humming of the
machinery will be but a memory of tbe
past. There la a rumor in circulation
tbat tbe mill will be moved to Bear Creek
near Ridgway, wbere tbere la said to be a
