 BUSINESS IN LONDON
And It's a Wine Selling Occupation, Yet She Says She Likes 1t.
 --CritiCiZcs Women.

London, Dec. 19 P>-A titled girl of nineteen is running n wine busi- ness in London, and with it q lun- cheon club for mon.
 She is tho daughter of an English army officer and lately succeeds to the title of an uncle, Baron De Beck of the papa artistocracy, who owned a'wne business with headquarters in Rome. Tho young Baroness Dc Beck decided to develop the business in London so she rented offices and formed limited company with her self as the chief director.
 This was four months ago and tho Baroness says she is doing splcndid- ly, although she had no previous business training,
 "Busincss IS great fun," said tho Baroness, "especialiy if one is q woman. Men are very considerato and easy to get along with. They tell me what l do not know about wine is not worth knowing. I taste all our wines myself and find that my judgment regarding them is quite sound. Of course it is essen tial that l do not smoke, as that would destroy my taste"
 The luncheon club is growing daily and the Baroness says she is getting more members than she knows how 10 cope with. Although she has plenty of confidence in her self, the Baroness has little in other women. "Womcn generally are not much good in business" she said 'Thcy arc always trying to get some thing for nothinE.'

 "A man born in the heart of Africa 2S years ago, who could win a CroiX Du Guerre and a Legion Of Honor medal, win 40 battles in the ring and have himself proclaimed light heavyweight champion of the world. surely had something in him that educated people should have developed and directed into e chan nel Of usefulness"

NEW WINTER MAIL ROUTE INTO CASSIAR
 IS BEING AGITATED
(Portland Canal News)

(Portland Canal News)
 In support of, and perhaps add ing strength to, the stand taken by the Stewart Board of Trade for di- rect communication from this ocean port to Telegraph Creek by means of a wagon road or passable horse trail, we may say that the News has on file letters received more than a year ago from that point endorsing the effort this pa per was then making for a winter mail route into the Cassiar.
 Such a route would make a diff ference of two weeks at least in mail communication to the outside for residents of Telegraph Creek.
 It is hard to make a Government understand anything, especially a Federal Government. The few let ters that come and go from Tele- graph Creek may not seem of much importance to the representatives of "The Peepul' sitting in Ottawa. The fact that a newspaper Is a month old before it is read in Tele- graph Creek. may cause a super cillious smile in Parliament. But these things are vital to the resi- dents of the Cassiar, and they are just as loyal supporters of the Brit ish Empire as anyone who slips along the streets of the National Capital in his limousine.
 Now that there are signs of an- other placer rush, perhaps the Gov ernment will act to the relief of the parties most interested. The Government must also consider whether it is worth while to have a Canadian port for this Land of Wealth.
