Had Not Expected Note Which Was
 Sent by China Saturday

Tokio, March 12.-(By Associated Press) note to Japan on Sat urday requesting that discussion be presented with view of returning ralny and Port Arthur to China, was interpreted here today as no less than communication declaring abrogated the treaty of 1915 which embodied the "21 demands"

 A careful perusal of the Article will convince the skeptical that the inspired if not written bv the management of the Seward Light and Power Con- pany, or their local friends.
 We feel ashamed that notwithstanding the fairness of the Seward Gateway they deemed it advisable to ad vertise in Anchorage paper that Seward was town divided against itself.
 We appeal to the voters of Seward to resent and dis this false statement by voting for the bond issue todav showing the world that the rank and file of the people of Seward are divided on the subject
 If YOU wish Seward to progress, put your mind to work and Eour shoulder to the wheel Let's go over the top with rush. Demonstrate your dissatisfaction with present conditions by overwhelming vote at the polls today
 If the people of Seward will get together any en- deav0r it cannot help but be Seward has stood bv and let few individuals make Seward joke among Alaskan communities We have left too many good chances of akng town "good town slip by us, be- cause we have before taken issue with an ele men that does not want to Seward progress because of fear of competition.
 Show how you feel at the polls today, and whatever the result may be, we'll pull together to make Seward bigger town better town and the progressive town in Alaska.
