a clearing, and notice to a hungry
GROVE that dinner was in sight.
"Our open air cafeteria" remarked
the woods foreman. That's the bull
cook of Camp Five driving the sledge
Watch him."
A bullcook, let it be understood, has
nothing to do with cooking. Only rare
ly does he ever serve food. In camp
ordinarily he combines the offices OF
chambermaid, janitor and alarm clock
keeping the buildings clean, lighting the
fires in kitchen, %bunkhouses and of
fices, and seeing to it that the getting,
up whistle sounds on time. He is the
first man up in the morning and the
last to bed at night, and throughout
the day is busy at the Chores which
fall to no one else.
Setting the Table
Number Ffve's bullcook brought his
team up smartly beside a narrow plat
form of rough hewn boards mounted
on slashings driven into the ground.
Though apparently long past his six
tieth birthday, he displayed amazing
agility. With a shovel and broom
drawn from somewhere under the
sledge seat he leaped upon the plat
form and cleared it in a few seconds
he ranged two long milk cans and
several larger food containers, swath-
ed in blankets, along one side Of the
platform. At one end he placed a
box containing metalware plates and
cups. knives, forks and spoons.
With kindling and a mixture lum-
bermen call mash, made of sawdust
and kerosene, which also came from
the recesses of the sledge. he then
proceeded to light fires in places, near
logs, that had been cleared Of snow.
While he was doing this, the men on
the hill and along the chute, having
broken bales of hay and adjusted nose
bags and their horses. were troOping
down into the clearing. They fell
into line and filed by the platform,
with their plates and cups.
Tea Is His Triple
From the food containers the agile
old bullcook dished roast pork and
beef, outlets, stew, baked beans, pota-
toes, bread and pudding as the open
air diners required. From the a n

Murphys. Larsens, J%ohansens, Smiths
and Bedards, alphabetically on the
payroll undoubtedly, but in the lum
berjack community, whatever their
rank as craftsmen, they were known
simply as Spud, Joe, Jack, Swede
Dutch or Frenchy.
There were other variants Of per-
sonal nomenclature favored by men
who had little regard for the graces of
language or the odd preferences ex-
pressed by fond parents at christen-
ing time. The largest man among
them was Speck; the smallest, a team
ster who could ride logs in transit
as easily as a monkey climbs a tree,
was Whale which shows that lum-
berjacks and college men are brothers

progress there was almost complete ST.

the lighting Of the pipes, and the open

famous looking stuff. Then it was de-
sultory until the Professor, who seemed
to have acquired the honorary prefix
by reason of the fact that he was re-
puted to be a highly educated man,
began a dissertation which would have
been a revelation to anyone accus-
toned to the topics Of the average
group of men in town.
His subject was gunnery, and the
system of indirect firing used by the

illustrated his remarks with geomet-
rical figures drawn in the snow with
a stick.

"Our chief, Mr.. Ross. has two major
hobbies connected with his work. One
is conservation, the other r%eforestra-

another year or two the work will be
completed, and then the land suitable
for agriculture or grazing will be col.

reforested, according to plans which
have been developing ever since the
logging job began. In so years this
region will yield another big crop OF
lumber. Meanwhile, it also will be
producing food crops and livestock"
Down hill the Shay and its train
made more than IA miles an hour. and
before ) O'Clock the headquarters camp
came into view. At the edge of the
clearing was a huge stable and corral
large enough to accommodate 200
horses. Then came a group of build
ings ranged about a plaza or parade,
from the center of which lowered a
slender %flagpole, made from a tree that
might well have served as the mast of
an international yacht cup defender.
ltinerant Camp Buildings
The larger structures. such as the
dormitories, general offices, store.
warehouses and carshops. were of the
type favored in army camps during the
war, but the smaller buildings occupied
by unmarried clerks and foremen, and
by those aristocrats among craftsmen,

chief machinists. conformed to the
sectional construction system. Each

hoist the sections on board the flatcars
and proceed. 1t will not take much
longer than to loa a circus.
AS the train entered the camp limits
it passed a long string of flat cars
%surmounted by sectional halves of such
structures, each half a complete,
weather-tight house equipped for
sleeping or cooking purposes. These
houses on wheels comprised the peri
patetic lumber camps which follow the
working crews from point to point as
the logging operations progress far
Their and farther from headquarters
VI tuS otHcT pNlHidlcut camps.
They are laid up for the summer"
explained Mallory. "We are reducing
the crews since the cutting Of timber
ended for the season. But we ex-
pect to have the busiest winter in the
history of the camp in 1922-23."
Winter is the real logging season.
The men are warmly clad, and the ice
and snow facilitate the ~transporta-
ton Of the timber from the hillsides to
the railway lines which are extended
as the timber cutters penetrate far
ther into the forests.
A Jewel of q Cook
Below the camp half a mile, for the
use of the married men and their
families, were bungalows built of logs
or dressed lumber, each with its gar
den beds, awaiting the coming of a
belateR, planting season. Vegetable
patches were rare for two reasons:
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-06-11

First. because the growing season In
the mountains is exceedingly short, and
secondly. because at Bonner, in 1917,
a community garden experiment was
begun which has developed into an
established community activity. the
products of which are shared with the
logging camps.
Men of the woods crew were drop
ped fro mthe train at Number Five,
the permanent camp nearest the chute,
and only the trainmen and the log
leaders who manned the jammer re-
turned to join the headquarters crew
of mechanics. stablemen and other en-
ployees. Between their arrival and the
supper signal, there was only time to
wash. and they hurried into the mess
hall with haid brushed and smoothly
shaved faces shining from the effects
of vigorous rubbing and soapy water.
In cleanliness, they matched the tables
and floors which were as spOtless az

1t was said of him that he had once
cooked seventy-two months, without
a day off, for a hotel full of miners,
and that not one of the latter was
glad when at last he decided on a va
cation He and his two young kitchen
helpers set before the boarders a meal
which included pot-roast, pork, ham,
baked beans, a variety of vegetables,
several kinds of breadA ranging from
biscuit to Boston brown, an assort-
ment of cake, two or three kinds Of
pie pudding. coffee and tea. As fast
as a platter was emptied. it was re-
plenished or replaced by another. The
quantities were astonishing.
McEwen. the camp manager. who's
full Of statistics. said the records show
ed that each lumberjack at the Nine
Mile ate his own weight in food every
three weeks. The total consumption ag-
gregated $4,000 pounds q month. or 216
pounds per man. The daily consump-
ton was 69I pounds per man of bread,
meat. fish. eggs. cereals. vegetables.
fruits, sugar. coffee. tea. syrups and
spices. One hundred eggs per man per
month was one interesting item Of
the food report. And another was that
the commissary administration had
been reduced TO such a scientific basis
that the cost of a meal. which any
where else would cost seventy five
cents or a dollar, amounted to thirty
four cents.
$4,000 Worth Of Bedding
The lumberjacks and other camp en-
ployes pay $1.2O a day which after de-
Quoting the cost of food, leaves Is
cents a day each for the use of $4,000
worth of army blankets, with which the
