HONORS FOR

Godfrey Chealander, formerly of j
Skagwav, has been appointed as a dele- '
sate to represent Seattle at the ''See
American Congress." that will meet at
Salt Lake the last of January. The
purpose of this conference is to devise
some means to keep the thousands of !
Americans who annually go to Europe :
at home, or at least in their own '
country.
Mr. Chealander who gets his appoint I
ment from the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce will go to the convention to
do all he can to convince those pres
eat that Puget sound and Alaska offer
as much to the itinerant American as
can be found in any of the European
countries. The steamer trip around
the Sound and up the coast of Alaska
and the river voyage down the Yukoo
will be some of the s'rocg points of
Mr. Cheaiander's argument. He will

YOUNG CORBETT GOES TO

Herara, the Mexican, Easily Whips Former
Pride oi Denver- End Came in Firth Rouud
When Right Puts Little Fellow Out
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.]
Los Angeles, Jan. 12 ? Aurelio Her
rara, of Bakerfield, Cal., knocked out
Young Corbett in the fifth round last
night at the Pacific Athletic Club pavil
lion. Herr.ira's victory was an easy
one, as Corbett lacked the dash that
has won so many victories for him in
the past. His blows did' little damage.
The fight came near ending in thej
i first round, when the Mexican caught
Corbett on the jaw with a left ana
right in quick succession. Corbett
staggered against the ropes, but a few
poorly-directed blows gave him a
chance to collect his wits.
The victory came to Herrara with a
right-hand swing to Corbett's jaw in
the fifth round, which put him down
and caused him to take the count.
