NotesUPS and DOWNS, VOL. III, October 1, 1897, No. 1, reported:

While making mention of the individuals comprising the Sarmation party it would be unfair to pass over the name of George Salmon, who after running a career with many ups and downs contained therein, has at last secured an honorable post with the Bell Telephone Co. at Neepawa, Manitoba. The last post brought ot us a large photograph showing the interior of the office in which Mr.Salmon is engaged, and directly our resident carpenter can find time to take the matter in hand, it is the intention of the writer to give this picture a prominent place on the walls of the office.

From the January 1898 Ups and Downs:

With one or two exceptions, thee young men promise to become credible members of our already large and successful Canadian colony, and it is to be hoped that the right hand of fellowship will be gladly extended to these strangers as they go out to situations, by the young men of our clan, who have already taken advanced degrees in the art and mystery of North-West agriculture. Cheer them on, dear readers, you were strangers once yourselves in the Great Lone Land and realise the effects of the wonderful change, the sudden transition from the busy whirl and excitement of the Old Country of one of our old lads, George Salmon, who had been for some years in the employ of the Bell Telephone Company, at Neepawa, Salmon has been good enough to furnish the writer with a copy of his latest photograph, which, produced on this page, will no doubt be of interest to his old comrades of the party of June'88, ex steamship Sarmatian. Althought the telephone as a practical appliance has been in use less than twenty years, it may be said to have become an indispensible to the business man, for even in 1889, according to statistics published by the Bell Telephone Company, in the United States alone there were nearly 200,000 instruments in constant use attached to nearly the same number of miles of wire, while since the date given, the extension of the system, particularly in America, has been phenomenal, consequently we argue that Salmon has made no mistake in enlisting in the service of a system which has evidently come to stay and will probably offer him employment as long as he sees fit to remain with his employers.
