12 STATES IN
ASSOCIATION
Midwest Governors AssOcia-
tiOn Is Name Members
to Meet Annually
SORLIE Is A MEMBER
Organization Takes Definite
Stand in Favor Of Middle
West Policies
SORLIE Is A MEMBER

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 9.-tR)-Grow-
ing out of a conference in Sioux
Falls, S. d., last month, an organiza-
tion composed of the governors of
twelve middle western states has
been formed to advance and protect
the interest of the millions living in
the Mississippi Missouri river valley.
The members of this organization
will meet once q year and in the in
term will communicate with each
other and through their officers on
questions affecting problems Of the
region.
Governor Carl Gunderson of South
Dakota, as president of the Mid
west Governors association, as the
organization will be known, has mail
ed invitations to fifteen governors
and twelve have accepted. The foun-
dation of the association was laid at
Sioux Falls in meeting called by
MIR. Gunderson and attended by the
executives of four other states.
Member Governors
Comprising the membership are
Governors Erickson, Montana; Ross,
Wyoming; Morley, Colorado; Sorlie,
North Dakota; Gunderson, South Da-
kota; Christianson, Minnesota; Nc
Mullen, Nebraska; Hammill, Iowa;
Baker, Missouri; Paulen, Kansas;
Terral, Arkansas, and Trapp, Okla
homa.
Governor Gunderson, as president,
Governor McMullen, as vice presi-
dent, and, Governor Baker, as secrc-
tary-treasurer, form the executive
committee which will assemble mu-
tual problems during the ensuing
year and will call another conven-
ton some time early next fall.
Inasmuch as the decisions reached
at Sioux Falls automatically were
embraced by the executives not at
tending, when they became mem
bers, this organization already holds
u unanimous opinion on middle west
crn policies. These include tacit ap-
proval of farm export corporation
development of the st. Lawrence
Great Lakes waterway project, water
power and supplemental water sup
ply to improve moisture conditions
and adoption by the states of Il pre-
audit system giving governors broad
cr powers to curb governmental cx-
penditures.
The officers Of the organization
hope to formulate Il system by which
the association may perpetuatc itself
after the present members leave Of
flee.

CLAIMS TO BE
WORLDS CHAMP
WOLF HUNTER
Has Killed 12,O1l Wolves and
Collected $33,236.5O
Bounty Since 1898

A. G. Lcsimcister. farmer living
near Harvey. n. d., lays title to be-
ing the champion wolf and coyote
tion he is far and away the cham
pion Of North Dakota.
LeismeisLcr called at the state
to check up on his record as shown
by payment Of bounty by the state.
The figures dicluScd are startling
Since Jun" 30, 1898, Lcismeistcr has
killed l2,oll wolves and coyotes on
which he has collected $33 .23G.5O as
bounty.
In addition to being the prize wolf
and coyote hunter of the state LciS-
meister owns and operates a fine
farm in Wells county where he has
helped to make the life Of the. wolf
or coyote Il thing Of tragedy. He
hunts as a means of recreation.
Sport Since Childhood
When he was q boy in Russia
wolves in company with his father
and it has been sport for him ever
since, Le;smeister told attaches of
is an attractive incidental. For him
tramping the fields with gun has
for the average nimrod, and yet
Leismeister uses Il gun on very few
of his wild victims.
The secret Of his success as a
coyote hunter is his bloOded pack of
wolfhounds which run down and kill
their quarry. He has spent much
money in their purchase and care
and takes great pride in him.
When Leismeister starts out on a
wolf hunt he first surveys the coun.
try in which he expects to operate
If it is extremely rough he bitches
pair of blooded horses to his light
blackboard wagon on the rear OF
which is a cage. Into the cage he
puts his wolfhounds and the hunt
is on.
Upon sighting a wolf or coyote
anywhere on the landscape, Leis.
meister merely pulls lever which
opens the door Of the cage and the
hounds start in full cry. When Leis.
meister catches up with the dogs
there usually is nothing left for him
to do but to skin the animal.
If the country in which he expects
to operate is level the horses re.
main in the barn and the cage and
dogs are placed on the rear Of his
aut utomobilc.
Success Is Uncanny
Leismeister's success is uncanny
state officials who have watched him
say. According to his friends the
Wells county man may drive past a
farmers, home and ask the occupant
if he has seen any coyotes in the
vicinity. If so, he asks in what d.
rection they were travelling. A few
hours later he usually has put an
end to the career Of that particular
pest.
His wolf and coyote hunting ac-
tivities have aided in making Leis-
meister Independently wealthy. In
addition to the bounties collected
from the state he has profited from
the sale Of the skins of the animals
Pelts in good condition bring from
$5 to $18 each, he said.
Lesmeister is well known to many
persons in the state having served
as doorkeeper Of the state senate at
the last session. but few who saw
the rugged, ruddY faced man stand
ing inside the great door knew that
he could justly lay claim to having
killed more wolves and coyotes than
any other man in the United States
and perhaps in the world.

His Recommendations

The executive made formal rec
ommendation for reduction of the
taxes; suggested necessity for
keeping the airplane industry alive
as we'll as replenishing and refitting
government air service equipment
and developing an '.orderly policy"
in the air; and declared that "every
available resource of the government
will be employed in prohibition en-
forcement." He thought the total es-
Inmates of $42,447 900 for the COM
bined air services should accom-
plish the ends sought.
Concerning the tax bill, already
drawn by the House Ways and
Means Committee, the President said
it had gone somewhat further than
his judgment dictated with respect
to amounts and exemptions, but he

MACMILLAN TO USE
2O-METER WAVE
Explorer Hopes to Send
Voice From Arctic Half Way
Around World.
BY Consolidated Press.

BY Consolidated Press
Donald b. Macmillan is going into
the Arctic this Summer, confidently
expecting to flash back to the Eng
lish-speaking world the first voice
from the Polar regions.
IF all goes well with the expedi-
ton the story that Macmillan will
tell through the air will be either
denial or a verification of the report
ed existence in Labrador of the re
mains of a village that was settled
by the Vikings, 400 years before Co
lumbus crossed the Atlantic.
And finally, il all goes well with
the wireless transmission of the Mac
MILAN voice. his story will be heard,
probably not by listeners in the
United States, but by the radio oper-
ator board an American battleship
off Australia, exactly on the opposite
side of the globe from the cruiser
Bowdoin, which will flash the mes
sage.
These hopes were revealed here to-
day by Comdr. Macmillan and Comdr.

from the Arctic. but also of transmitting
the first code message ever dispatched
from the region that lies between 80 and
fS.2O degrees north latitude.
Backing up the two commanders in
their plans is John 1. Reinartz, already
looming into fame through his low

gram received here by Macmillan from
ReInartz states that he is Successfully
