Butte County Rice Growers Watch as
Useless Straw Turns to PaperPuIp

CHICO, Cal, April II. CUP) -
Butte county rice growers today
awaited completion of an expert
mental plan for manufacturing
pulp from rice straw which they
believed might create a new in
dustry for the United States.
The plant is located at Richvale,
near here, and is a cooperative pro
ject. Test runs already have been
made in which rice straw. now
burned in the fields or sold for as
little as fifty cents a ton, was re-
duced to a high grade pulp.
Foundations already have been
laid for a rice paper manufacturing
mill. Initial output of the pulp
factory will be sold for the manu-
facture of cigaret paper, bond pa
per, stationery, currency paper and
other specialized high grade papers
According to the head of the CO.
operative, d. M. Thomson, an en-
gineer, the United States currently
must import all rice straw paper
from the Orient and France. Thorn

 13 Letters
 Yesterday Nelson Charles wrote letters of farewell to his friends and relatives Ironically, the number of letters he wrote was 13 This morn ing as he waited the last hour he dictated two more letters to Cap tain Jackson. One designated Jack son as his choice of spiritual ad- visor. The other, addressed to Mar shal Mahoney was a friendly note, acknowledging the fact that the Marshal had treated him kindly and that he did not hold Mahoney in any way to blame for what was about to happen to him. Both let ters were signed by Charles
 When the black cap was being pulled over his head the Native add ed few unofficial last words, fix my ear.' His left ear was exposed When Hellan started to arrange the cap as indicated Charles said, NO, pull the cap over it.
 The body was not cut down, but was hauled back up through the trap and removed from the moose.
 Nelson Charles was 37 years old and looked younger He enlisted with the U. s. Army in 1918 by say ing he was l8 when as matter of fact he was only 16 He saw service in France and was wounded.

7TH DAY ADvENTISTS
 AppR0pRIATELARGE SUM, MISSION WORK

A total of $321 ,227 was appropriat- ed by leaders of the Seventh-Day Adventist denomination at their |convention of executives just clos ing in Lincoln, Nebraska, to con- tinue the operation of their world wide missionary machine during 1940, according ca report Pastor H L. Wood, Alaska mission super intendent, has just received from the council. Pastor Wood was un- able to attend the executives coun- cil this year because he was called as a witness by the Grand Jury in dieting Tim Murphy, Aletuk, for murder which occurred in the Es- kimo village of Pilot Point while the Pastor was in the village.
 The Eskimo plead guilty and was sentenced to 25 years at McNeil Island so there was no need of a trial, but it was too late for Pastor Wood to attend the Council.
 The mission superintendent stat ed that the size of the appropria- tion is especially remarkable this year because $106000 had to be ta- ken from reeerve funds of the treas ury to meet urgent needs in coun- tries where it was felt that new churches, sanitariums and schools must be erected without delay.
 w. E. Nelson, treasurer of the General conference stated that while war has played havoc with the de- nomination in certain lands by talk ing preachers from their pupits and putting them into soldiers uni forms, and has otherwise dislocated church congregations, provision in these appropriations has not only been made for the supply of funds in order to keep mission enterprises in different foreign continents nov ing along on even lies, but the con- struction of a number of churches, and the improvement of still others now being utilized by the faith.

 Silence
 The Marshal cautioned the wit nesses against talking after the prisoner was led in With wet snow falling-drip, drip, drip-overhead, the eight men in the room, the spiri- tual advisers, the doctors and the Federal officers saw the hanging.
 No one else was able to see it. Against the Federal Building on Main Street stood three Indians, man, woman and boy, watching the moves around the execution chamber a block away The woman dabbed her eyes with handkerchief. It is not likely she was relative of Charles. who came to Alaska from Puget Sound. His wife, whose mother he killed, is in jail at Ketchikan on another charge.
 Nelson Charles was found guilty by a Ketchikan jury of killing Mrs. Cecilia Johnson, 51. at Ketchikan on September 3, 1888. As the jury refused to recommend life imprison- ment, the hanging sentence was mandatory upon District Judge George F Alexander
 Granted Two Stays
 Twice Charles was granted stay of execution in order to allow his attorneys to perfect an appeal When no action of this nature was taken the hanging was set finally for Mo- vember 10. Several appeals to Presi- dent Roosevelt to commute the sentence to life imprisonment were rejected after a study of the case. Charles was certain as late as yes- terday that he would be granted another stay.
 Mrs. Johnson's murder was as bru- tal as could be imagined. Her son. in-law was drunk at the time. His statement that he was innocent of the crime was not made seriously until two minutes before he died
