Arizona favored moving the deer south to better grazing, a plan supported by friends of the brute creation and by Zane Grey.

Davis Ends Federal Railroad Administration Era
James C. Davis, director general of railroads for the government, closed the wartime federal railroad operation calling it a great adventure. The railroad administration will linger briefly to defend damage claims and collect loan payments, with costs totaling 1 674 500 000.
