Oregon State University AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Stacy J. Lundgren for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Anthropology, Anthropology, and Geography presented on June 16, 2006. Title: Proving Up and Pulling Out: Archaeology and History of Early20thCentury Homesteading in Southwestern Oregon. Abstract appro " Signature redacted for privacy. David R. Brauner The Forest Homestead Act of 1906 precipitated one of the final rushes for free land in American history. A nascent land management agency, the USDA Forest Service, created a systematized process for the review and documentation of purported forest homestead claims. One hundred years later, the forest-homestead examination files of the then-Crater National Forest (now the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest) in southwestern Oregon provide an historical record that exposes the motivations and actions of numerous individuals as they negotiated the steps entailed in the public-land- disposal process. Archival research and archaeological survey form the dual methodological approaches to determine answers to several questions, among them: who were the people who attempted forest homesteading in a rugged mountainous setting, and what were their primary motivations?; what sort of housing did they fashion for themselves in the higher slopes of the Cascade Range and Siskiyou Mountains; where upon the land did they choose to place their habitation areas?; what were the spatial arrangements of those habitation areas?; and, what today is the nature of the archaeological record of the forest homesteading phenomenon of the early century? This research indicates that the high-volume timber lands of the southern Cascades and the rugged Siskiyou Mountains proved a singular enticement to the residents of Jackson County, Oregon. Vernacular housing was typically the standby structure of the American 'pioneer' ---the log cabin---often ineptly built, sparsely furnished, and infrequently occupied. The would-be homesteaders' actual use of the land was light, often less than one per cent of the total 160 acres they each claimed. The archaeology and history of southwestern Oregon in the early century demonstrates that forest homesteading was less an agricultural endeavor than a speculative pursuit to gain free land. And everyone---men and women, farmers and teachers, doctors and lawyers---wanted free land. © Copyright by Stacy J.

My signature below authorizes release of my thesis to any reader upon request. Stacy J. Lundgren, Author ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author is indebted to several people over the course of this multi-year thesis project: In the early stages, Court Smith and David Brauner helped shape the research, Kingston Heath provided encouragement, and the Oregon Archaeological Society provided partial funding. At the very last stage, both Ronald Doe! and Jessica White stepped in to join my committee. Ann Ramage, Medford BLM, allowed access to that agency's homestead files (formerly, of course, Forest Service files). Several Forest Service archaeologists quite willingly made copies of reports and sent them to me as soon as requested: Kevin Bruce, Tombigbee National Forest; Paul Claeyssens and Theresa Holtzapple, Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests; Gerry Gates, Modoc National Forest; and Cathy Lindberg, Willamette National Forest. Andrew Sewell, RPA, sent Volume I of his homestead research in Wisconsin just as promptly. Kay Shelnutt joined me in the field. Brenda Kellar volunteered to edit my draft thesis. Kara Kanaby and Pam Paullin provided emotional support. Four individuals from the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest helped me with ArcMap: Carol Boyd and Dave Knutson patiently helped me navigate the program, and Randall Frick and Mike Mitchell provided the technical support. Lastly, I am deeply grateful for the assistance, guidance, and encouragement of Jeffrey M. LaLande, Forest Archaeologist for the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. It was Jeff who told me of the homestead files, who wanted someone "to do something scholarly with them." His unflagging belief in my abilities sustained me throughout the long (probably too-long) thesis-writing process.

    Little Applegate Watershed Hydrology Report Michael Zan * Hydrologist April 1995 Little Applegate Watershed Analysis Hydrology Report SECTION 1 LITTLE APPLEGATE RIVER HYDROLOGY Mean Monthly Flows: Except for some data collected from May through October 1913, and from June through October 1994. there is no known flow data for the Little Applegate River or its tributaries. With this in mind it was necessary to construct a hydrograph displaying mean monthly flows by utilizing records from nearby stations that have been published in USGS Surface Water Records and Open-File Reports. In constructing a hydrograph, a short discussion of low flows is first in order. Since low streamflows have been identified as a key question pertaining to the larger issues of water quantity/quality and fish populations, the greatest need is to gain a reasonable estimate of seasonal low flows to help quantify the impacts of water withdrawals on instream beneficial uses. With this in mind, extreme caution must be used when extrapolating data from gaged to ungaged watersheds. This is particularly important in determining low-flow characteristics (Riggs 1972, Gallino 1994 personal communications). The principle terrestrial influence on low flow is geology and the primary meteorological influence is precipitation. Neither have been adequately used to describe effects on low flow using an index so that estimation of low flow characteristics of sites without discharge measurements has met with limited success. Exceptions are on streams in a region with homogeneous geology, topography, and climate, in which it should be possible to define a range of flow per square mile for a given recurrence interval.

The C1 catalytic reaction for the rapid recombination of o and CO and the yellow coloration of the Venus haze by OC1 and C1 3 a~pears to be unlikely. At the time of the Martian dust storm, the dissociation of H20 in the vicinity of the surface may vanish.

    Snake Surveys in Jackson, Josephine and Southern Douglas Counties, Oregon JASON REILLY ED MEYERS DAVE CLAYTON RICHARD S. NAUMAN May 5, 2011 For more information contact: Jason Reilly Medford District Bureau of Land Management [email protected] Introduction Southwestern Oregon is recognized for its high levels of biological diversity and endemism (Whittaker 1961, Kaye et al. 1997). The warm climate and broad diversity of habitat types found in Jackson and Josephine counties result in the highest snake diversity across all of Oregon. Of the 15 snake species native to Oregon, 13 occur in the southwestern portion of the state and one species, the night snake, is potentially found here. Three of the species that occur in Oregon: the common kingsnake, the California mountain kingsnake, and the Pacific Coast aquatic garter snake are only found in southwestern Oregon (Table 1, St. John 2002).

The ecoregion boasts many unique invertebrates, although Within the ecoregion, there are wide ranges in elevation, topography, many of these are not as well studied as their plant counterparts. geology, and climate. The elevation ranges from about 600 to more than 7400 feet, from steep mountains and canyons to gentle foothills and flat valley bottoms. This variation along with the varied marine influence support a climate that ranges from the lush, rainy western portion of the ecoregion to the dry, warmer interior valleys and cold snowy mountains. Unlike other parts of Oregon, the landscape of the Klamath Mountains ecoregion has not been significantly shaped by volcanism. The geology of the Klamath Mountains can better be described as a mosaic rather than the layer-cake geology of most of the rest of the state.

Our approach has been to reexamine the circulation and structure of the thermosphere using the framework of the R. E. Dickinson and E. C. Ridley (1977, Icarus 30, 163-178), symmetric two-dimensional model. Sensitivity tests were conducted to see how large-scale winds, eddy diffusion and conduction, and strong 15-/xm cooling affect day-night contrasts of densities and temperatures. The calculated densities and temperatures are compared to symmetric empirical model fields constructed from the Pioneer Venus data base. We find that the observed day-to-night variation of composition and temperatures can be derived largely by a wave- drag parameterization that gives a circulation system weaker than predicted prior to Pioneer Venus. The calculated mesospheric winds are consistent with Earth-based observations near 115 km. Our studies also suggest that eddy diffusion is only a minor contributor to the maintenance of observed day and nightside densities, and that eddy coefficients are smaller than values used by previous one-dimensional composition models.
