WICKERsRAM MADE
 HAYNES NO PROMISE

w. B. Stout, R. M. odell and H. o. Banta, of Haines, have joined in a communication to The Empire in which they say that Delegate Wicker. sham made no promise in his speech to the people of that place regarding the terminus of the government rail road.
 The Empire received word from two sources which 1t regarded as relia. ble that promises were made, and that the impression was left with the people of Halnes that he thought the railroad terminus should be at Haines. Later came the direct charge from many people of Valdez and Seward that he had made directly conflicting promises to people of those towns. Thi1 made the reports received though responsible people that similar prom ises had been made at Haines perti. nent, and tho reports were printed.
 Judge Stout, Judge odell and Mir. Banta say in their communication:
 "The undersigned citizens of Haines werc present and heard Judge Wick. ersham's speech. and some one of us was with almost continuously from the time of his arrival until his departure, and we say that the statement pub lished by The Empire is absolutely false and without any foundation whatever.
 "This Is what Judge -1Nlckersham did say: That he could not work for any route for the government rail road, for the reason that, that matter was left entirely in the hands of the President.
 We hope that you will give this a place in your columns, to the end that justice may be done, and that the Delegate may not be misrepre- sen:ed."
