TYLER MIX'S DEATH IS DEPLORED WELL-KNOWN YOUTH,SUCCUMB8 FROM EFFECTS OF ACCI DENTAL WOUND. Tyler Mix, the 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Mix of this city, died last evening at 8 o'clock at St. Patrick's hospital. D1eath was caused by gangrene in the gunshot wound re ceived by the young man Wednesday evening from the accidental discharge of a shot gun as he was getting out of a wagon after a day's hunting. The 'flesh and part of the bone of the right leg was torn away by the shot and at physician's care was unavailing to heal the ugly wound. Several sur geons consulted on the case yesterday and amputated the injured leg just below the knee, but even by that means couldl not save the boy's life. Tyler Mix was born in Missoula and has lived here during the 17 years of his life. He completed the eighth grade in the Roosevelt high school in the fall. lie decided, however, to help his father conduct the grocery on South Third street insteand of continu ing in school. I1e leaves to mourn his loss, besides father and mother, three brothers, Norman, David and Homer Mix: three sisters, Mrs. G. Ii. I'racy, Mrs. Louise Lachambre and Miss Alice Mix, and an aunt, Mrs. I Pope; also t wide circle of friends and sschoolmuites. Funeral arrangemernts were not completed last night, but the service will probably be held Sunday at the family residence on South First street. ninnrI flnnnT nlilhiirr'r ARCL POST BUSINESS INCREAS!NG EVERY DBA The parcel iost Iusiness was good yesterday and the postofffice officials reilrtld some increase in the number of packages over thle dlay before.

More than 50 per cent of the matter mailed with parcel post st;anlps attached yesterday wouldll run between six and seven pounds in weight.

"The Missoula Automobile club is going to stand for something. It Is to be more than a mere organization 'n name only. There is a field for 3t here in western Montana to do some good work; there is an opportunity for every member of the club to receive substantial benefits from it if the or ganization is kept alive and does things. We have but had a taste of what can be accomplished and this has made us hungry for more. In this sort of a spirit we have started out to secure as members every automobile owner in this section, and we're going to get every one. Then we can do things, for with numbers there is strength and influence." So spoke President George Briggs of the Missoula Automobile club last evening. Mr. Briggs had with him one of the new membership flags that had just arrived by express, and was dis playing it to all of the members he chanced to meet. The emblem is very pretty and President Briggs hopes that one will decorate every automobile hi this city and county within the very hear future. "We have just been wait ing for these flag emblems," said Mr. Briggs, "to start this new member ship campaign. Now we'll get right to work and I feel satisfied that when the auto owners realize what the club can offer them for a nominal annual fee that they will not hesitate to join the club and assist in its work and purpose. The Plan. "Here is our plan: A membership in the Missoula Automobile club now carries with it one of these new, mem bership flags, designed to be attached to the radiator at the front of the car; a year's subscription to the American Motorist, a well-known and valuable automobile journal; an annual mem-. bership in the American Automobile association and a membership in the Montana State Automobile association All of these things come to our mem bers now with the payment of the an nual fee of $5. We cut the annual fee in half, for we would rather have 200 members at $5 each than 100 members at $10 each. I have just started out to work up this new in terest in the club and to secure the members that we shoild have on our books. All of the owners I have seen have taken to the idea splendidly and have 'come across' 'with their five spots, being especially anxious to se cure one of tho new emblems. They were only received today, and I waited Ior their arrival before beginning the cam paign." A Pretty Ermblem. A Pretty eohblem. The new emblem of the club is very neat and pretty. It consists of a cir cular metal plate three Inches in liameter and this is mounted on a threaded bar equipped with washers and thumb-screw and is to be slipped through thie radiator and made fast. T1i disc is heavily enameled with a IHrder of white and a center of gold: across the face is a pennant of dark green and red, all appropriately let tcred in white and gold. It is artistic and1 yet not large enough to he too conspicuous when carried on the auto. Those who had an opportunity of in. slpeting the emblem last evening were delighted with it and it will not he long hefore the finger of scorn will bo pointed to every auto which does not carry one of the membership flags on its radiator. Secretary Logan of they club will have the emblems unpacked today and will take pleasure in show ing them to all who are interested. Thei membership campaign' will he carried on very briskly by ]President Itriggs for some days. There are at least 175 auto owners in Missoula and many other members should come into the organization from ther ural dis tricts. After the membership cam paign is finished there will be a big meeting called and the club will pro ceed to outline the work it is to do during this year. LOCAL SOCIETY Barteau-Welcome.

Sloan of the Bitter Root Valley Irrigation com pany passed through Missoula yester day on his way west, where he will spend some weeks in the fruit districts of \Vashington, Oregon and California investigating the methods that are be ing followed in these older fruit dis tricts in growing and marketing fruit. Of the purposes of his trip the Ste vensville Register says: H. M. Sloan, general manager of the Bitter Root Valley Irrigation company. left Tuesday for an extended trip through "all the fruit-growing valleys west of here and on the coast. His route will carry him through Washing. ton, Oregon, Idaho and California, and perhaps into other states. While Mr. Sloan expects to enjoy his trip, it is not taken for pleasure and will involve much study and hard work. It is undertaken in the inter ests of the fruit-growing industry of the Bitter Root valley, in which his compllany is interested on a very large scale. The information gathered will not, however, be used for the exclusive benefit of his company, but will gladly be made public for the benefit of the pelople in general. Conditions and methods of grow ing, packing and marketing will be in vestigated as thoroughly as possible. t Many other phases of the industry will be studied, and Mr. Sloan's trip will undoubtedly accomplish much goed for the valley. More system and care in packing and greater organization in marketing are things to be accomplished before the vast new orchards in the Bitter Root valley come into bearing. These will be made special subjects of invcstiga tion by Mr. Sloan. -i- PRESS AGENTS TALK i OF THEIR SHOWS Sarah Bernhardt may be seen in action, itf not in tile flesh, at the Bijou theater next Monday and Tuesday, where there will be, on exhibition a motion-picture record in four reels of her recent performance in Paris of Emile Moreau's spectacular historical drama "Queen Elizabeth."
