-April 7, 1910 - The Signal - Views for the Old Country
"R.R. Sallows' photographic skill is to assist the Department of Immigration of the Dominion Government in giving the people of the Old Country a true conception of farming life in Canada. The superintendent of immigration has arranged to secure from Mr. Sallows a series of progressive stages of work on the farm during the season; as, for instance the farmer in the field sowing, or preparing the ground for seed; next, showing the growth of the crop; methods of cultivation, and so on, and finally the harvesting and threshing operations. The series of views when presented to the Old Country farmer should give an excellent idea of agricultural processes in this country."

"A Train of New Freight Cars - "An event of unusual interest to those engaged in the grain business at Goderich was the loading and shipping of twenty-one new C.P.R. cars with new grain at the Goderich elevator last Friday. The grain was wheat and oats of the 1911 Western crop and was received by boat only a few days before from Port Arthur and Fort William. The cars had never been used before, having been brought here from Detroit, where they were manufactured. The train, which left here on Friday, was in charge of Conductor Wallace, of London; Engineer Bowlan was at the lever, while Fireman Turnbull looked after the firebox. The amount of grain on the train was close to 35,000 bushels and the aggregate freight charge was $1,300. The grain was for use in the milling trade and was destined for Tillsonburg, Lindsay, Thorold, Peterboro and other points. This is only one shipment which goes to indicate the large trade which the Goderich Elevator & Transit Co. enjoys in catering to the Ontario milling trade. Some excellent photographs of the train were made by R.R. Sallows."

"To the Highlands of Ontario - Friday afternoon of this week, R.R. Sallows, portrait and landscape photographer, leaves on a trip into the Highlands of Ontario, where he will spend the next two weeks taking views for the advertising and publicity department of the G.T.R. He has a threefold object in view in making the trip. In the first instance he goes in response to an invitation extended by the manager of the Highland Inn, Algonquin Park, to accompany a party on a deer-hunting trip. His second object in going is to secure a number of good hunting pictures to assist the G.T.R. publicity department in advertising the hunting grounds of Northern Ontario. A guide will meet him at Canoe Lake station and from there they will go in to the shanties by canoe, portage and cadge roads. A number of camps may be visited if the material is not available at the first one. Finally, if winter weather prevails and there is a snowfall in Algonquin Park, Mr. Sallows purposes making a series of pictures setting forth the wonderful beauties of the park in the winter season. This is Mr. Sallows' eighth trip into the New Ontario wilds and each time he accumulates a wealth of knowledge regarding the wonderful resources of the northern country. He expects to be back about November 15th. "

"R.R. Sallows is preparing to leave on his winter trip to Algonquin Park on Tuesday, February 13th. He also will visit the camp of the Booth Lumber Company while away so he will not return until February 26th. He requests all those who wish to enter the Pioneer Club to defer their sittings until his return, as he wishes to give them his personal attention. Any others who contemplate sitting for portraits also are asked to comply with this request."

-August 15, 1912 - The Signal - Farming in Oxford County
"R.R. Sallows returned today from a trip through the farming district in the vicinity of Tillsonburg. He went there under the direction of the Dominion Immigration Department to secure photographs of farming, and dairying scenes, farm buildings, residences, cattle and crops. These views will be used in illustrating new immigration literature which is being prepared by the Department. Mr. Sallows thinks the country which he traversed is an ideal farming community, but that the conditions which he saw there are similar to what will exist in this section of Western Ontario when Huron County comes into her own. He was in conversation with one farmer who owned 100 acres on which was a first-class barn and silo, a brick residence and a good orchard, for which he had refused $15,000. Another man told him he had paid $15,000 for 140 acres of land on which there were no buildings. He had erected a new barn and silo and a residence equipped with all modern conveniences, including electric light, and he now valued his property at $20,000. Dairying is a very lively industry, some of the farmers owning as many as seventy cows. A large condensing factory at Tillsonburg pays $1 per hundred pounds for milk in summer and $1.50 during the winter season. The majority of farmers who are following the dairy business on a large scale are installing a milking plant at a cost of about $800. It will milk four cows at a time. One farmer with forty cows does all his milking in an hour and a half. Each cow is estimated to average a new profit of $110 each year. Nearly all the farmers' homes are lighted by electricity and it is a safe prophecy that in a short time the use of hydro-electricity...for farming operations in that area."

"A recent issue of Country Life (published in London, England) is a Dominion Number, having a large number of articles and illustrations on Canadian subjects. No publication of this sort seems to be complete without some of R.R. Sallows' photographic views, and there are several in this number, showing farms scenes in this neighbourhood. ONe picture taken in D.C. Galbraith's orchard in Goderich Township is entitled "Fruit Farming in Nova Scotia."

Mr Sallows Sees a Beave Dam One Hundred Feet Long - "R.R. Sallows has returned from another trip to Algonquin Park, where he did some more photography work for the Grand Trunk Railway. A number of lodges and shelter houses are being built throughout the Park for the accommodation of tourists, and Mr. Sallows was taking pictures of these for G.T.R. advertising purposes. "Highland Inn" with accommodations for 200 people, is the center for visitors to the Park, and from there they may move from place to place, these lodges (one at Smoke Lake large enough for fifty guests) providing the necessary accommodation.
On his recent visit Mr. Sallows was the guest of Mr. Robinson and Mr. Bartlett, two of the Park rangers, at Joe Lake Station. They escorted him to various points in the Park, the trip from lake to lake being made by canoe, with occasional portages. On the way to Wilson's Lake they saw an immense beaver dam - 100 feet long and six feet high. The beaver are increasing very rapidly - too rapidly, in fact - and the Government has commenced taking some out each year and selling the furs. Last year over $7,000 worth of furs, from beaver, otter and other animals in the Park, were sold, this helping to pay for the upkeep of the Park. No hunting is allowed in the Park, so that the animals increase more rapidly than they otherwise would. During the trapping season, Messrs. Robinson and Bartlett took out 300 beaver in six weeks, and their operations cover only one section of the Park.
Mr. Sallows has a section of birch tree showing how the beavers can fell a good-sized tree. This one is eight or nine inches in diameter, and the beaver tackle even larger ones.
Mr. Sallows also visited one of the J.R. Booth Co.'s lumber camps east of Algonquin Park. The Company is working on a timber limit, which is said to be valued at $15,000,000, and it is estimated that it will take eighty years to clean it out. There were about 130 men in the camp and this is only one of several working on the limit.
Mr. Sallows was away about two weeks. He enjoyed the trip greatly and speaks with enthusiasm of the north country."
