An .extension of the Colorado & Southern from Silver Plume to a connection with the Union Pacific at Granger Is among the possibilities. possi-bilities. T. C. Williams, who is in Denver from Steamboat Springs, says that 400 men are at work In that neighborhood neighbor-hood getting out ties for the construction construc-tion of the road, and that numerous gangs of surveyors are in the field. The supposition is that E. H. Harri-man Harri-man and Edwin Hawley are behind the extension.
