Choreboy and Bullcook . .
Once in Michigan, on a shanty
camp site so old that I had to shovel
among grass, bush and popple to find
even charred remnants of log walls
and pole roofs, I uncovered a well
top—~a platform of hewn planks,
caved in and buried at the center.
The rough surface was crisscrossed
with ax marks. They told the story
of a “choreboy” of fifty years or
more ago, coming out each morning
long before “daylight in the swamp,"
to chop‘away the ice from around
the pump, and to thaw and prime it
for the day’s needs of the camp.
A lad with a lantern and an ax,
long, long ago. Imagining him
brought the whole scene back from
its old life in the great pineries. It
was all pretty mournful. The pines
were gone, with choreboy, the lum-
berjacks, and the work of all. Fire
had been their ruin, fire alone. Dur-
ing fifty years the land there had
been burned twenty-two times. Not
until 1920 had the Federal Govern-
ment or the State of Michigan really
done anything of account to stop the
fires.
But what I started out to tell was
that “choreboy” was the Michigan
term for “bullcook.”
The Original Bullcook . . .
That noted graybeard among tim-
ber historians, Stewart Holbrook,
tells us that in the old days in Maine
“the bullcook" was the man who
forked hay and scooped bran and
corn meal into the mangers of the
logging oxen—“bulls” to the lumber—
jacks—and who mixed their bran
and corn meal. The term survived on
the West Coast, and “choreboy” be-
came an all but forgotten name in
the woods.
The trade of the bullcook rose in
importance in the Douglas fir when
s p r i n g beds, mattresses, pillows,
sheets and showers .became standard
logging camp equipment. Long be-
fore that time he had escaped the

childish toil of pumping and packing
water, for in all but the smallest
gyppo camps, pipes and spigots had
replaced the pump and well. But
there were more fires to light in the
morning, what with the one big
bunkhouse having given away to
smaller ones set on drag-sleds, or to
the bunk cars of railroad camps.
The good bullcook took pride in
his fire-lighting. Prone to use coal
oil, despite fire rules, he would move
fast from shack to shack, and at the
end view with pride identical curls
of smoke rising from the rows of
stovepipes. Then came his great mo-
ment. With a monster silver-plated
watch in his left hand and an iron
baton in his right, the bullcook
would square off at the triangle of
drill-steel hanging in front of the
cookhouse, and on the dot of ap-
pointed time, he would smite the
gong a first resounding blow.
Then music—to the bullcook, at
least. And pride indeed, for, high
and low. all in camp had to roll out
or roll up at the ringing thunder
from his hand. The rest of the day-—
sweeping, chopping, and pig-feeding,
made up his work.
The Specialist . . .
Today in the big camps bullcook-
ing has become so scientific that the
National Youth Administration, I‘ve
heard, was preparing to give courses
in it when the war intervened. With
the modern camp‘s electrical and
plumbing systems, oil-burners, laun-
dry, sanitary regulations, systems of
bedding supply, and the like, bull-
cooking is truly a powerful profes-
sion. The

Let Hollywood movie directors
and Eastern magazine editors take
due note. the bullcook never is, and
never has been, a cook. More often
than not they apply the term to the
king of the cookhouse. Phooey on
such ignorance.

For years most Americans have remained misinformed
concerning the basic facts of our forest resources. There
l ,
, .
i SIMPSON
have been many public-prejudices concerning ferest opera-
tions. Few citizens are familiar with the fact that many
forest industries have entered an era of planned manage-
ment—few think of forest operations as continuing enter-
prises—few view timber as a crop and few understand that
a forest harvest may be taken without destruction of the
woods.
BUT—it is true that many forest industries have
entered on an era of planned management.
Right here in Mason and Grays Harbor counties the
Simpson Logging Company has operated continuously for
47 years, always with the future of this area in mind. To us
TIMBER IS A CROP.
‘Through scientific cutting, maintenance of seed sources
and planting of nursery-grown stock, young and vigorous
forest growth replaces mature, slow-growing trees which
need to be harvested.
The Simpson Logging Company and the forest indus-
tries generally have entered a period of planned operation
of the woods, our only renewable natural resource.
