Fighter on Card Here July } Is StabIemate of New
 MiddIeweight Champ

One benefit of the Al Hostak- Solly Krieger fight last night comes directly to a Juneau boy.
 Billy McCann, the little Wash ington dynamo and stable mate of Al Hostak under Eddie Merino's wing, will take a transforming trip to Australia with the new middle weight champion of the world early this fall.
 Billy and Hostak had made all arrangements for the jaunt before McCann came to Juneau from Se- attle two months ago. The journey was contingent on Hostak's beating Krieger, so there was at least one fervent packer of the new champ in this town last night.
 McCann, who is salted for a crack at the big money and is under con- tract to Eddie Merino will appear before Juneau fans next Monday night to battle Slugger Weaver in a match for the junior welterweiglit title of Alaska.

BUILD PRESS
TO FIX HOSE
Forest Service Here Has Only
Vulcanizing Unit of Its
Kind in Country.

A vulcanizing press for the repair of
linen fire hose, the only one of its
kind in the United States, has been
constructed and put into operation at
the fire-marine shop of the U. S. forest
service here.
Built from plans obtained from the
Canadian forest service, the press was
constructed in the shop here by Ben
Wiley. Ray Harmon, while supervisor
of the Superior National forest, saw the
press in operation in Fort Francis and
reported it to Rangers Frank Legat and
Jack Valentine here. 1t was decided
to build one of the national forest.
This was about year and a half ago.
1t required about years time to
obtain permission from holders of
patents on various mechanical features
of the outfit in Canada before the press
could be constructed, and about a
weeks time to build it.
Linen hose is used by the forest SER
vice because it is only half as heavy as
rubber-lined, and it is not nearly as
bulky. Until the vulcanizer was put
into operation, sections of hose having
holes in them were cut out and either
discarded or had couplings put on them
This made a great many short lengths
Now holes the size of lead pencil
are vulcanized and those larger are cut
out and the ends vulcanized together
The shop serves as warehouse and
repair headquarters for the entire SUI
perior National Forest. So far this fall
10000 feet of hose have been inspected
and fixed when necessary. Another
5000 feet is expected to be brought in
The shop is also headquarters for all
fire-fighting and marine equipment fol
the forest. Wiley is in charge.
The press is comparatively simple in
its operation. 1t consists of six &C.
centric disc levers, each clamping down
rubber splicing block on a steam
electric vulcanizing plate. The section
of hose to be patched is placed between
the block and the plate and 800 pounds
pressure applied. Six sections can be
vulcanized or three spices made at one
time.
