Resources at Scotia were determined “highly significant” if it: § Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California’s history and cultural heritage; § Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past; § Embodies distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction; or § Has yielded or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory or history. The period of significance is the date or span of time within which significant events transpired, or significant individuals made their important contributions. Based on the findings for Scotia, the period of significance is between 1896 and 1959. In addition to having significance, a resource must have integrity. Integrity is defined as the authenticity of a historical resource’s physical identity as evidenced by the survival of characteristics or historic fabric that existed during the resource’s period of significance. Alterations to a resource or changes in its use over time may have historical, cultural, or architectural significance. However, a historic resource must retain enough of their historic character or appearance to be recognizable as historical resources, and to convey the resources for significance. In most cases, the resource must be at least 50 years old. Historic Districts are a concentration of historic buildings, structures, objects, or sites within precise boundaries that share a common historical, cultural or architectural background. Individual resources within an historic district may lack individual significance but be considered a contributor to the significance of the historic district. In terms of this assessment, significance resources that are components of the district are referred to as “contributing.” “Non contributing” sites, although located in a district, do not possess integrity within the period of significance. Scotia Historic Assessment Study 1 The rights and responsibilities of the current owners of the properties, Pacific Lumber Company LLC (PALCO), are the same as those of owners of non-historic properties. Listing does not prevent the use, sale, or transfer of the property. Listing does not give either the state or federal government any additional authority over the property. Although it is the intention of PALCO not to seek historic district designation status, the assessment of effects of the proposed project is based on a potential historic district as defined by the County of Humboldt. Historic districts include a definable, geographic entity that possesses a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of sites, buildings, structures, or objects united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development. Historical resources include, but are not limited to, any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which are historically or archaeologically significant, or are significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California. 2.0 Historical Background 2.1 Location Map The town of Scotia, a privately owned community in the unincorporated portions of the County of Humboldt, is situated directly south of towns of Rio Dell and the larger communities of Fortuna, Eureka, and Arcata to the northwest. Forested areas extend to the south of Scotia along the Eel River and Highway 101. The communities of Redcrest, Weott, and Myers Flats and the Humboldt Redwood State Park are also located a few miles to the south. The historical boundaries of urbanized Scotia are: the Eel River to the west and north, Highway Route 101 to the east, and lumber storage and forested areas to the south. The boundaries reflect the extent of urban development in relationship with the lumber milling operations and associated uses and services at Scotia within the period of significance. Growth of the town was substantial during building booms derived from Scotia’s business success, primarily in the early 20th century. In addition, industrial access to Eel River (water transport), railroad, and highway uses contributed to the town’s layout and functionally defined uses. See Appendices and Exhibits.

  • Gyppo Logging in Humboldt County: a Boom-Bust Cycle on the California Forest Frontier
    GYPPO LOGGING IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY: A BOOM-BUST CYCLE ON THE CALIFORNIA FOREST FRONTIER by Kenneth Frederick Farnsworth, III A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts In Social Science: Geography July, 1996 GYPPO LOGGING IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY: A BOOM-BUST CYCLE ON THE CALIFORNIA FOREST FRONTIER by Kenneth Frederick Farnsworth, III Approved by: Joseph S. Leeper, Major Professor Paul W. Blank, Committee Member Christopher S. Haynes, Committee Member Gerald Sattinger, Graduate Coordinator, SBSS John P. Turner, Dean for Research and Graduate Studies ABSTRACT GYPPO LOGGING IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY: A BOOM-BUST CYCLE ON THE CALIFORNIA FOREST FRONTIER by Kenneth Frederick Farnsworth, III Discusses the rise and decline of the gyppo (small contract) logging and sawmill industry in Humboldt County, California between 1945 and 1965. Historical discussion of the role of large redwood companies, and transportation systems which they used, prior to 1945. Explains the land ownership patterns, resource diffusion of the primary resource (Douglas-fir), and emerging logging technology. This allowed gyppo contractors to rival the production of the established industry. Conclusion: too many mills harvested excessive amounts of old-growth Douglas-fir during the 1950's. Tightening log supply situation during the 1960's and 1970's drove most gyppo mills out of business, and reduced the employment potential of the forest products industry. Gyppo logging continues to be somewhat viable, working individual contracts for large, integrated forest products companies. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my appreciation to a few people who have been influential and helpful during the construction of my thesis.

  • The Legacy of the Log Boom Humboldt County Logging from 1945 to 1955 Logging in Humboldt County in Northwestern California Began in 1850
    Paul G. Wilson The Legacy of the Log Boom Humboldt County Logging from 1945 to 1955 Logging in Humboldt County in northwestern California began in 1850. When settlers first saw the giant old growth coast redwoods in Humboldt County they were in awe of them. These trees had diameters up to 30 feet and heights up to almost 400 feet. Old growth redwood trees are the oldest living things on earth; they can live about two thousand years. The settlers of Humboldt County had a respect for the redwoods; however, the settlers saw an immediate profit to be made. Old growth redwood lumber was used to build houses, railroad ties, shingle bolts, fence posts, and grape stakes.1 Redwood timberland in Humboldt County was located near the coast and extended twenty-five miles inland. The mills that cut the redwood logs into dimension sized lumber were located on the shores of Humbolt Bay. Humboldt Bay was a safe place for ocean vessels to pick up loads of redwood lumber to be sent to San Francisco Bay. Lumber vessels were often overloaded with redwood lumber. Because the vessels were piled with lumber, the vessels were believed to be unsinkable.2 Redwood lumber was sent all over the world for its preference in woodworking. In 1878 the United States government passed the Timber and Stone Act which allowed loggers to buy 160 acres of timberland for $2.50 per acre as long as the loggers "improved" the land through logging and ranching. Loggers acquired thousands of acres of redwood land and often formed partnerships to begin lumber companies.

Introduction I am highly honoured and humbled to be asked to deliver this inaugural lecture on behalf of my faculty, the Faculty of Technology and more importantly on behalf of the Depart- ment of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering. It is gratifying to note that this is the first inaugural lecture from the Department since the change of name of the Department in 2005 to its present name. However, it is the fourth from the Department, but actually the second to be delivered from the Wood Products Engineering Unit of the Department. The first from the Unit was delivered by one of the founding fathers of the Faculty in person of Professor E.B. Lucas, in 1984 entitled: "A Treeless Age Approaches Fast: It's a Lifeless Era as Long as it Lasts ...." Today, by the special Grace of God, I stand before you to present the ninth in the series of inaugural lectures for the 2010/11 session.
