Did you know that among Spo-

And did you know that not far
from Spokane are some of the fin
est and biggest bears on the Amer
lean continent, Just sort OF waiting

Well, in the above picture two Of
the niftiest Spokane hunters are eX-
hibited, together with one of the
biggest bears ever shot in these
parts. The man with the broad hat
and the broad front is Attorney
Fred Robertson. and he with a gun
pointing skyward is Tom Hopper
one of the most expert and famous
hunters of the northwest.
The photo was taken just after

nine feetin long. He was freed by

that is Jack, worth between $500
and $1,000, and the best hunting dog
in the northwest. He has a record
of achievement in his line of which
any man might be proud. and he's
as modest about as he can be. Rob
ertson and Hopper thought they
had lost him the other day, and
they didn't rest until hewas found
again.
Attorney Robertson. who has his
summer home at Spirit Lake, has
some lnlating dogs which he thinks
are the very best combination for
tracking big game They are a
mixture of bloodhound and Airsdah
and combine the strength and en-
duranee of the former with the
quick wit and speed of the latter.
