Land of the Hunter

Many times, Sallows accompanied hunters into the northern areas, like the newly opened Algonquin Park, and photographed their sport.

-Nov 2, 1911 - The Signal - p.1 - 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."
