Lively Time
Saving Deer
From River

Each winter the Kootenai river
takes considerable toll Of deer
for it so happens that when the
river freezes over deer begin to
cross back and forth and, not hav-
ing any sense of danger, they will
break through thin ice and go I'M
der or become lodged and die from
exposure or become easy prey for
coyotes.
The other day G. N. railway
conductor on a passenger train,
having seen a deer caught in the
ice Just below Stonehill, notified
D. A. Gilchrist, signal maintainer
at Warland, about the deer's plight
Mr.. Gilchrist and his helper, Jer-
ONE Filiatreau, having some work
on the east end of their section,
decided to 60 up there and Incl
dentally try to rescue the deer, in
case it was possible. Ranger L. L.
Lake was also a member Of the
rescue party.
! At a point Just below Stonehill
| the deer was spotted in helpless
condition, about tWo-thirds Of the
way across the river where only
its head, neck and two front legs
were visible above the ice.
According to tracks and signs
two Whitehall deer had tried to
cross the river and at point over
half way across both had broken
through the ice and signs indicated
that one had gone under and the
other one was still making half
hearted, feeble attempt to get out
of an impossible predicament.
The rescue party, equipped with
ropes axe and cameras, started out
across the ice, testing it as they
went. Finally a test hole indicated
that it would be necessary to lay
down poles before advancing any
farther. After this had been done
the lead man, fastened to the others
| by rope, advanced carefully to a
point within about 80 feet Of the
trapped deer. The ice at this point
was not over one inch thick and de-
composed from recent rains made
rescue conditions rather hazardous.
AT this point the deer turned to
look at us out Of pleading, half
frenzied eyes as one Of the rescuers
coiled his RATA for a throw. As
the loop settled over the deer's head
a picture was taken and then all
hands heaved on the rope and out
came the deer. She was dragged to
shore and heaved up over a 12-foot
bank after which an attempt was
made to stimulate circulation in her
hind quarters and legs which were
practically paralyzed from the long
immersion IN the icy bath.s
She was left in a protected pot
hole Whefe~she Seemed much bet
ter, and as the rescuers left she
gave them a grateful loving look
out of her big eyes which seemed
to say thank you for saving my
life"

Cannot Be
Held In Camps

All relocation centers for Amer
ican-born japanese will close by
January of next year, said Ray B.
Haight, acting relocation supervisor
for the War Relocation Authority
when he visited the University
campus. Haight is permanently sta
toned at Salt Lake City.
The Supreme Court has decided
no American citizen of Japanese
descent can be held in the centers
against their will, hence such Jap
anese now are free to leave when
they choose, he indicated. Haight
said that although the war depart
ment has lifted the exclusion order
against Japanese on the west coast,
more of them are now moving to
the East to avoid racial discrimin-
atoms
The war relocation supervisor
left Missoula Wednesday for Spo-
kane and other Northwest cities. He
is discussing the Japanese-Ameri-
can problem with officials in all Of
the western states.
One Of the postwar problems,
Haight believes, may be to fit Jap
anese into suitable jobs since
American labor will be preferred,
in view Of the prejudice against
japanese fostered by the war.
He talked before the University
sociology laboratory, several classes
and some of the deans. He will re-
turn to Salt Lake City after d short
west coast tour.

QuiiefeSt
Session In
Many Years
BY Harry l.. Carlson

HELENA-lUP-M ontana's 29th
legislative assembly was in the
midst of it's hardest working week
Of the session today as both houses
We're whipping throukt..hug stacks
of legislation for transmission to the
other house by the deadline.
Although veteran legislative OBJ
servers termed the l945 session the
'squietcst, most uneventful session
in many years. legislation of far
reaching Importance was being
adopted by the assembly, probably
the most conservative body Of leg
islators in Montana history.
Most significant development Of
the assembly Last week was the
holding of the Montana supreme
court that the present legislature
may appropriate money from the
states S5,000,000 surplus in the gen
eral fund to hire architects to plan
a state office building after the
war.
In a per curiam opinion with
only one justice dissenting, the
court held valid House Bill As, a
test measure whipped through the
legislature to determine whether ii
could draw from the huge surplus
to provide employment for Mon
tana's returning servicemcn and
war workers after the war.
The bill appropriates $4,000 to
pay for architectural fees for plan
ming construction Of state office
building after the war; the money
to be appropriated from the $4,-
859,500 surplus in the state general
fund. The supreme court decision,
sought in friendly suit brought
against the state board of examin-
ers, permits the legislature to make
similar appropriations for broad
postwar public works program.
With the constitutionality OF
f Bias upheld, THE house appropt'ta-
tions committee was expected to
draft other measures designed tc
provide employment TO thousands
of Montana's returning servlcemen
after the war in the construction
of more buildings and other state
projects.
Other major legislative develop
ments were expected 10 be COM
pleted and become law this week
among them.
Adoption of major appropria-
ton bills introduced last week, to-
falling S8,00O,O00. One bill would
call for the expenditure Of nearly
100000 for operation of all Mon
tanas appointive state departments
boards, bureaus and commissions
during the next biennium. Intro
duced by the house appropriations
committee, the bill would approp-
riate ST ,498,399 for the next fisca.
year and s1,417,329 for the 1864
fiscal year, an all-over increase o.
S172,352 over the tWo-year approp-
ration of state appointive offices ii
1943.
A second major appropriation
bill calling for the appropriation
of $4,000, 100000 during the next two
years for aiding Montana's aged ant
other needy persons was before thu
i assembly this week
The public welfare BILL larges
Ito appear in the 10Th legislative as
scmbly thus far, calls for the spend
ing Of S2,4l6,920 during each Of tn
next two fiscal years, a total 0
S4,833,840. The appropriation rep
resents an increase of S36,920 an
nually over the past two years.
More than half the appropriation
