The biggest wheat deal Of the 1905

year. 1t consisted of about $4,000 bu-

raised in the valley. The price quoted
by the purchasers was SO cents f. o.
b.
There has not been much activity in
the market during the past week, ow
ing to the fact that the prices offer
ed have not been to the liking of the
growers. Several small sales have
been made during the week, but with
the exception of the deal made for
the Lyons crop very little wheat mas
changed hands. The farmers are not
overly anxious to dispose of their
wheat, all having a feeling of con-
dence that the price will go up be-
fore very long.

MANY INVOLVED.
New Facts Brought to Light in AS
phaIt Case.


CARACAS, Venezuela, Sept. g.
Judge w. J. Calhoun, sent by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to make a special in
curry into the questions at issue be-
tween the United States and Vene-
zuela, has already taken up the as
phalt case, and will spend probably
month in getting at all the facts
in this long standing controversy.
President Castro's grounds for the
prosecution of the New York and Ber-
mudez Asphalt company for COM
plicity in the Matos revolution against
the Castro government and the evil
dence relied upon by the government
to prove it's case have been made pub
lie. There are in the evidence many
letters from company employees, other
documents and photographs of Off
Gals of the company distributing ra-
lions to revolutionary troops.
Well known persons, law firms and
export houses are implicated, and the
new facts brought to light for the first
time increase the list Of those be-
smirched by asphalt.
One former employee of the company
alleges that on reapplying for a po-
sition in the New York Office he was
leld up by the vice president until
ne HAD signed an affidavit in their ia
vor, which 10 days later he repudiated
by signing another, which has been
presented by the government, in when
ne charges the company with the
most fragrant participation in the
revolution. He named an export
the asphalt. corporation, he declares,
shipped a large quantity of arms and
ers on a steamer under charter Of
the company.
The head engineer of the asphalt
lake at the time of the revolution was.
according to the testimony, approach
ed last fall in New York, while in the
company's employ by John D. Lind
say, attorney for the asphalt trust,
and an attempt was made to compel
him to sign two affidavits without
seeing the contents, which he declined
to do. He says in an affidavit that
the superintendent of the asphalt
lake made every effort to persuade
MIN to take a position as chief en-
gineer on the revolutionary steamer
Ban Rign, then lying at Trinidad, Of
fering greatly increased wages and
unemployment on the termination OF
hOstilities.
