[[File:Henry E. Huntington.jpg|thumb|right|140px|Henry E. Huntington]]'''Henry Edwards Huntington''' (February 27, 1850, [[Oneonta, New York]]–May 23, 1927, [[Philadelphia]]) was a [[railroad]] [[magnate]] and collector of art and rare books.<ref>[http://digarc.usc.edu/search/controller/view/chs-m13712.html Portrait of Henry E. Huntington, ca.1900]. University of Southern California, USC Digital Library. Retrieved 2010-05-30.</ref>

==History in Southern California==
Henry E. Huntington was the nephew of [[Collis P. Huntington]], one of [[The Big Four (Central Pacific Railroad)|The Big Four]], the men instrumental in creating the [[Central Pacific Railroad]] (later called [[Southern Pacific]]), one of the two railroads that built the transcontinental railway in 1869. Huntington held several executive positions working alongside his uncle with the [[Southern Pacific Transportation Company]]. After Collis P. Huntington's death, Henry E. Huntington assumed Collis Huntington's [[leadership]] role with [[Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company]] in [[Virginia]], and married his widow [[Arabella Huntington]].

In friendly competition with his uncle's Southern Pacific, in 1898, Huntington purchased the narrow gauge, city oriented [[Los Angeles Railway]] (LARy) known colloquially as the 'Yellow Car' system. In 1901 Huntington formed the sprawling interurban, standard gauge [[Pacific Electric Railway]] (the PE), known more familiarly as the 'Red Car' system, centered at 6th and Main Streets in Los Angeles. This competition with his uncle's Southern Pacific could be achieved by the need for passenger friendly streetcars, on 24/7 schedules, that the railroads couldn't match--and by the boom in Southern California land development--where houses were built in distant places, like Orange County's [[Huntington Beach]], a Huntington sponsored development, where streetcars served passenger needs that the railroads had never considered.

By 1910, the Huntington trolley systems stretched over approximately 1300 miles of southern California.<ref>Friedricks.</ref> At its most robust size, the system contained over 20 streetcar lines and 1,250 trolleys, most running through the core of Los Angeles and serving such nearby neighborhoods as [[Echo Park, Los Angeles, California|Echo Park]], [[Westlake, Los Angeles, California|Westlake]], [[Hancock Park, Los Angeles, California|Hancock Park]], [[Exposition Park (Los Angeles)|Exposition Park]], [[West Adams, Los Angeles, California|West Adams]], the Crenshaw district, [[Vernon, California|Vernon]], [[Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, California|Boyle Heights]] and [[Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles, California|Lincoln Heights]]; The system integrated the 1902 acquisition, the [[Mount Lowe Railway|Mount Lowe Scenic Railway]] above [[Altadena, California]] in the [[San Gabriel Mountains]].<ref>[http://www.erha.org/henrhunt.htm Henry E. Huntington], The Electronic Railway Historical Association of Southern California. Retrieved 2010-05-30.</ref>

In 1905 Huntington, [[A. Kingsley Macomber]], and William R. Staats developed the [[Oak Knoll, Pasadena, California|Oak Knoll subdivision]], located to the west of his San Marino estate in the oak-covered hilly terrain near [[Pasadena, California|Pasadena]]. [[Image:HuntingtonMansion-1915.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The Huntington Mansion, 1915; now the centerpiece of the Huntington Library.]]

In 1906 Huntington, along with [[Frank Augustus Miller|Frank Miller]], owner of the [[Mission Inn]], and [[Charles M. Loring]], formed the ''Huntington Park Association'', with the intent to purchase [[Mount Rubidoux]] in [[Riverside, California|Riverside]], build a road to the summit, and develop the hill as a park to benefit the city of Riverside.<ref>Gale, pages 155-156.</ref> The road was completed in February 1907.<ref>Hutchings, page 11 (unnumbered).</ref> The property was later donated to the city of Riverside by the heirs of Frank Miller, and today the hill is a {{convert|161|acre|km2 sqmi|lk=on|adj=on}} city park.

Huntington retired from active business in 1916. In 1927 Henry E. Huntington died in Philadelphia while undergoing surgery. He is buried, with a large monument, in the Gardens of the [[Huntington Library]].<ref>{{findagrave|6084}}</ref>

===Hotel===
The Huntington Hotel was originally named Hotel Wentworth when it opened its doors on February 1, 1907. Financial problems and a disappointing first season forced the Hotel Wentworth to close its doors indefinitely. Railroad tycoon and art collector Henry Huntington purchased the Hotel Wentworth in 1911, renaming it the Huntington Hotel. It reopen in 1914, transformed into a beautiful winter resort. The 1920's were a prosperous time for the hotel, as Midwestern and Eastern entrepreneurs discovered California's warm winter climate.

The Hotel's reputation for fine service began with a long-time general manager and later hotel owner Stephen W. Royce. By 1926, the hotel's success prompted Royce to open the property year-round. The "golden years" ended with the stock market crash and the Great Depression of the late 1920's and early 1930's. However, by the end of the 1930's the hotel was back on solid ground. When World War II began all reservations were cancelled and the hotel was rented to the Army for $3,000 a month. Following the war, the Huntington's fortune turned upwards once again. In 1954 Stephen Royce sold the hotel to the Sheraton Corporation remaining as the general manager until his retirement in 1969. The hotel continued operating until 1985 when it was forced to close because of its inability to meet earthquake standards. The unusual structure was completely built of un-reinforced concrete as it was built in 1906.

After a two and a half year major renovation the hotel reopened in March 1991 as the Ritz Carlton, Huntington Hotel and Spa. The hotel completed a 19 million dollar renovation in Jan 2006. The hotel changed hands in early 2007 and became Langham Brand International, Huntington Hotel & Spa. Langham Brand prides itself on restoring historic properties to their original grandeur. The current hotel has timeless elegance and has been impeccably renewed.

==Legacy==
'''{{Main|Huntington Library}}'''
His most prominent legacy in America is '''[[The Huntington Library|The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens]]''' in [[San Marino, California|San Marino]] near Pasadena. Other legacies in California includes the eponymous cities [[Huntington Beach, California|Huntington Beach]] and [[Huntington Park, California|Huntington Park]].

Also in [[Los Angeles basin|greater Los Angeles]] are the [[Huntington Hospital]], the [[Henry E. Huntington Middle School]], and the grand boulevard, [[Huntington Drive]], running east bound from downtown Los Angeles. Its landscaped central parkway was previously the right-of-way for Huntington's [[Pacific Electric Railroad]].

[[Riverside, California|Riverside's]] city park on [[Mount Rubidoux]] was originally named ''Huntington Park'', and the road to the top was named ''Huntington Drive''.<ref>Brown, page 478.</ref> After Frank Miller's heirs donated the property to the city, the city renamed the park the ''Frank A. Miller Rubidoux Memorial Park'', and the road has become known as ''Mount Rubidoux Drive''. A plaque that was dedicated to Huntington in 1907, in recognition of his contrubutions to the development of Mount Rubidoux, remains on a large boulder known as ''Huntington Rock''.<ref>Hutchings, page 12 (unnumbered).</ref> After Huntington's death a second tablet was placed on the north side of the hill at a place named the ''Huntington Shrine''.<ref>Wenzel, ''Anecdotes ...'', page 130.</ref>

His legacy in on the East Coast includes: the [[Huntington Park (Newport News, Virginia)|Huntington Park]] on the [[James River (Virginia)|James River]] in [[Newport News, Virginia]] at one end of the [[James River Bridge]], community landmark named in his honor; and the Huntington Memorial Library in [[Oneonta, NY]],<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.4cls.org/webpages/members/oneonta/onhistory.htm| title=Library Information: History| author=Huntington Memorial Library| date=2006| accessdate=2007-04-08}}</ref>

Portraits of Huntington were also painted by the Swiss-born American artist [[Adolfo Müller-Ury]]; a full-length, based on a photograph, is at the Howard Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, and two seated versions, a small one of which was the property of Huntington's son-in-law John Metcalf, and a larger one which was engraved by an artist called Witherspoon in 1928.

'''Shisham''' (''Dalbergia sissoo''), is an erect deciduous tree, native to India, Pakistan and Nepal. It is also called '''Sissoo''', '''Sisu''', '''Sheesham''', '''Tahli''' and '''Indian Rosewood'''. It is primarily found growing along river banks below 900m elevation, but can range naturally up to 1,300m. The temperature in its native range averages 10 – 40°C, but varies from just below freezing to nearly 50°C. It can withstand average annual rainfall up to 2,000mm and droughts of 3 – 4 months. Soils range from pure sand and gravel to rich [[alluvium]] of river banks; Shisham can grow in slightly saline soils. Seedlings are intolerant of shade.

Shisham is best known internationally as a premier timber species of the rosewood genus, but is also utilised as an important fuel wood and for shade and shelter. With its multiple products, tolerance of light frosts and long dry seasons, this species deserves greater consideration for tree farming, reforestation and agro forestry applications. After [[Teak]], it is the most important cultivated timber tree in Bihar- which is the largest producer of Shisham timber in India. In Bihar the tree is planted on roadsides, along canals and as a shade tree for tea plantations. __NOTOC__

==Timber==
Shisham is among the finest cabinet and [[wood veneer|veneer]] timbers. The [[heartwood]] is golden to dark brown, and [[sapwood]] white to pale brownish white. The heartwood is extremely durable (the [[relative density|specific gravity]] is 0.7 – 0.8) and is very resistant to dry-wood termites; but the sapwood is readily attacked by fungi and borers. It is used for [[plywood]], agricultural and musical instruments, as well as skis, carvings, boats, floorings, etc.

==Fuel wood==
The [[Heating value|calorific]] value of the sapwood and heartwood of 'excellent' fuel wood is reported to be 4,908 kcal/kg and 5,181 kcal/kg respectively. As a fuel wood it is grown on a 10 to 15-year rotation. The tree has excellent [[coppice|coppicing]] ability, although a loss of vigor after two or three rotations has been reported. Shisham wood makes excellent [[charcoal]] for heating and cooking.

==Botany==
Shisham, ''Dalbergia sissoo'' Roxb. (''Leguminosae'', subfamily ''Papilionoideae'') is a medium to large deciduous tree with a light crown which reproduces by seeds and [[basal shoot|suckers]]. It can grow up to a maximum of 25m in height and 2 to 3m in diameter, but is usually smaller. Trunks are often crooked when grown in the open. Leaves are leathery, alternate, pinnately compound and about 15cm long. Flowers are whitish to pink, fragrant, nearly sessile, up to 1.5cm long and in dense clusters 5 – 10cm in length. Pods are oblong, flat, thin, strap-like 4 – 8cm long, 1cm wide and light brown. They contain 1 – 5 flat bean-shaped seeds 8 – 10mm long. They have a long taproot and numerous surface roots which produce suckers. Young shoots are downy and drooping; established stems with light brown to dark gray bark to 2.5cm thick, shed in narrow strips; large upper branches support a spreading crown.

==Propagation==
It takes place most commonly by root suckers and also by seeds. The seeds remain viable for only a few months. Seeds should be soaked in water for 48 hours before sowing and 60 – 80% germination can be expected in 1 – 3 weeks. Seedlings require partial sun or full sun.
