Foundry, said today he had orders on
hand for five tons of acid-resisting
bronze castings, eight tons of lead
castings and three tons of other cast
ings for paper mills throughout the
Northwest.
The formula for the acid-resisting
bronze was worked out by Mr. Roake
after many years of experimenting.
When the paper industry prospers,
the Oregon City Foundry employs from
17 to 20 men regularly, but for the last
two years seven or eight men have
taken care of the orders.
SWISS AMONG VICTIMS
'Cleaning L'p or Million Prevented
by Closing of Putnam & Co. Six
Weeks Too Soon for Get-
Kich-Quick Promoter.
KEW YORK, March 1. John Grant
, Lyman, who was arrested several days
ago at St. Petersburg. Fla., where lie
fled from this city February 8 after
the discovery of an alleged oil-stock
swindle said to have netted him more
than $300, 000, was returned here to
night in the custody of Government
iigents. Deputy United States Marshal
"Vinzant, of Florida, who accompanied
the party, declared Lyman confided in
Mm on the way here that if he could
Jiave operated six weeks longer as
"John H. Putnam & Co." he would have
'cleaned up a million dollars."
Lyman, who, it is believed, was about
to leave for Spanish Honduras in
niotorboat when he was apprehended,
boasted that persons throughout the
country who sent their money to him
for investment were above the average
in intelligence, and "that It was a pleas
lire him to know that he got the
best of them," according to Vinzant.
Prlftonrr flocked X'p In Tombs.
Lyman was locked up In the Tombs
on his arrival here. He will be ar
raigned tomorrow in the Federal Court
on an indictment charging him with il
legally using the mails.
Lyman is quoted as saying that his
disappearance from New York was not
due to postoffice inspectors' Investiga
tion of Putnam & Co., but to the fact
that Gprham Tufts, of Los Angeles,
who was on his bond of $0,000 when
Jie fled from the California city two
years ago, after being convicted there
In a land fraud, was on his track and
eecret service men were trailing
chauffeur formerly in his employ in the
.hope of learning his whereabouts.
Postoffice inspectors who went to
IFlorida to get the fugitive say he pro
tested to them that Putnam & Co. were
"solvent" and that he would make a
fight to oust the receiver. He also
told them, they said, that once, "when
lie was an honest broker," he was
leaned out of a fortune of $300,000
3Ie then became a "sort of get-rich-
imick operator." They said he boasted
f having reaped a "soft graft" last
year promoting premium bonds in
Switzerland.
OpiMrtimity 1m AeRlected.
Vinzant asserted tonight that Lyman
told him if Putnam & Co. had invested
the money entrusted to the firm during

flocks, Lyman would have realized

The prisoner complained that $20,000
in bills of $1000 denomination were
taken from him by the arresting offi

accounted for. Fifteen thousand dol

Mr. O'Bannon recently made the fol

Promoter Says Commencement of
Operations Before All Prelimi
nary Work Is Complete, Would
- Not Give Best Results.
Robert B. Strahorn, president of the
Oregon, California & Eastern Railway
project, returned to Portland yesterday
after an absence of several weeks in
Spokane. He brought with him reports
of much encouragement and much ac
complishment from his engineers who
are making the surveys for the pro
posed lines through Central Oregon.
"Within the next few months we ex
pect to have this essential preliminary
complete in every detail," said Mr.
Strahorn. "That will enable us to pro
ceed with intelligent effory'
Mr. Strahorn says that many com
munities on the route of the new road
are eager to have construction opera
tions begin at once, but he points out
that this kind of action would be un
wise before the surveys for the whole
line are complete.
By having these complete surveys it
will be possible to build individual
units that ultimately will become parts
of the whole system.
But even more important than the
other activities, says Mr. Strahorn, is
the necess'ty for opening some of the
idle land in Eastern and Central Ore
gon through effective drainage and ir
rigation methods.
'The forthcoming state credits con
ference at Salem, with the subsequent
legislation that it involves, is the most
important move in this direction that
has been undertaken in the Northwest
In recent years," he declares. "The suc
cess of the plan to provide a compre
hensive system of rural credits, drain
age and irrigation bonds really is es
sential to the success of our enter
prise."
Mr. Strahorn is one of the appointed
delegates to the Salem meeting, repre
senting the Portland Chamber of Com
merce.
Two separate engineering crews now
are in the Central Oregon field making
surveys for the new road. The work
is complete from Bend to a point near
Fort Rock. Another line has been run
north from Lakeview a distance of luO
miles to Siler Lake, leaving a gap of
about 40 miles yet to be covered. The
engineers are working in each direc
tion and will meet within a few weeks.
A.nother line has been run from Burns
Junction formerly called Millican
eastward toward Burns about 15 miles.
Burns Junction is 15 miles southeast
of Bend. Lines also are being run from
Riley to Burns, a distance of 30 miles,
in an effort, says Mr. Strahorn, to solve
the problem of putting Burns on the
main line.
Mr. Strahorn says that his prelim
inary work will continue without in
terruption until it is finished. He was
highly pleased yesterday at the reports
that the people of Bend had voted the
bond issue necessary to provide termin
als for the road in that city. The prin
cipal shops also are to be established
at Bend.
