Company photograph albumapproximately 19171 box (199 photographs in 1 album)Collection materials are in
English.Photographs from
a coastal voyage of the Kalmor II launch to explore and document the timber
stands and logging operations in southern British ColumbiaThe Clark and Lyford Company expedition was undertaken on the
Kalmor II, a 45-foot launch with a 9-foot beam and
lasted 18 days from June 7 to June 24, 1917 through the sheltered waters of the
British Columbia coastal timber regions, making a total of 25 landings.
Beginning in Vancouver, the expedition traveled through the Straits of Georgia,
stopping at Secret Cove, Pender Harbor, Goliath Bay, Deserted Bay, Myrtle
Point, Powell River, Ragged Island, Squirrel Cove, Talbot Cove (on Teakerne
Arm, West Redonda Island), Quathiaski Cove, Menzies Bay, Rock Bay, Camp O,
Topaze Bay, Blinkinsop Bay, Port Neville, Burial Cove, Thompson Sound, Booker
Lagoon and Creasy Bay, and returned back to Vancouver for a total of 772 miles.
Under the direction of Dr. Judson F. Clark, Captain and "host" from
Clark & Lyford, Ltd., on board the Kalmor II,
launch also were Harold Gardiner, navigator; Charles A. Rooth, crew; John D.
Cress, staff photographer of the Lumber World Review; and Bolling Arthur
Johnson, editor of the Lumber World Review (and
presumed the author of the article).
Dr. Judson F. Clark, a partner in the Vancouver forestry consulting
firm of Clark and Lyford, Ltd. was formerly the Provincial Forester of Ontario.
With a Ph.D. from Cornell University, he was committed to forest conservation
and was the first professional forester to enter private practice, establishing
the Judson F. Clark Co. in 1904. In 1912, he joined forces with the Lyford
brothers and established Clark and Lyford, Ltd. The firm made a specialty of
timber cruising (the sampling of a stand of trees to estimate the amount of
standing timber) and topographical mapping work, as well promoting forest
conservation practices within the timber industry using ideas and techniques
developed by Dr. Clark.
Dr. Clark was interested in promoting the British Columbia timberlands
and explaining the various legal descriptions and terminologies used within the
British Columbia timber industry. The voyage of the Kalmor II, launch thus provided the content for the
July 25, 1917 Lumber World Review "Primer"
article, as well as showing the actual timberlands, logging camps, and
equipment used for the logging operations.

The Clark and Lyford album contains photographs from a coastal voyage
of the Kalmor II launch to explore and document
the timber stands and logging operations in southern British Columbia. The
photographs in the album were a part of over 300 photographs taken on the
voyage, some of which appear in the 1917 article "The British Columbia Timber
Primer” published in the Lumber World Review.
All photographs in the albums are numbered on the verso beginning or
followed by W (i.e. W345 or 543W). These numbers have been noted in the
descriptions.

power plant and gearing that turned one or more drums or winches containing
wire rope. Designed to lift, drag, and move logs from the stump to an
accumulation point, steam donkey engines were also used to load logs on cars
that transported them to distant mill sites.

tidewater terminal of the British Columbia Mills, Timber and Trading Company's
operation on Vancouver Island, British Columbia (W469) June 12, 1917 The unloading is done by means of a simple device of a series of
wire ropes passed under the logs, which are pulled taut by another wire rope
attached to the locomotive, which by simply slacking ahead a few yards lifts
several loads at once to an angle of 45 degrees. Then the logs roll into the
water simultaneously and with that one motion, the lateral ropes relax, are
loosened by hand, and weights attached at opposite ends automatically drag the
ropes back beyond the track. The locomotive then couples to the train, pulls
the second half to a similar position train of eight long carloads in two
motions, taking ten minutes for the entire operation.
