The Bluff Failed.

A few weeks ago the Laramie, Hahns
Peak and Pacific people announced that
plans had been completed for financing
the road for another seventy miles III
the North park country and also to
Steamboat Springs, in Routt county.
The success following the first fight,
in which Hartman failed to block the
construction of the road, has demon,
strated to the Union Pacific that the
Boston people mean business. 1t IS
said the announcement of the proposed
extension of the road again brought
the matter to the front, and that an
effort was made by the Union Pacific
to again purchase the road, with the
threat that if the Boston people did no.
sell Hartman would build a competing
line into the same territory. Accord
ing to the reports, the bluff failed %
work., and Hartman has put the II
veyors into The field to convince the
Laramie, Hahns Peak and Pacific PEG
pie he meant business.
Presidents Denial.
President Miller, whose office Is in
the general offices of the company at
the Interstate Townsite building, stat
ed this morning that there was hardly
a word of truth in the report. Tho
story that the Union Pacific offered -
buy the Plains line was denied posi-
lively, and Mr. Miller stated that tina
whole article was largely hot air"
He said he did not know the intentions
of the Union Pacific in its building OPP
erations, but they in no way confiicted
with his own. He was pushing the
Plains line to North park, he stated,
and was operating that portion be-
tween Laramie and Centennial, and do
ing it for the benefit of the Laramie,
Hahns Peak and Pacific Railway com
pany. The Times article was not Civ

Senator Mitchell. the witness said.

that further delay would be a severe
hardship or Mrs. Watson, and the Te-
ports from Ormsby and Lcomis showed
everything favorable. Witness said nc

did not have time to examine the papers
and turned the matter over TO Governor
Richards, the assistant commissioner,
and Senator Mitchell. Mrs. Watson and
