Ashes To Be Scattered On Summit Of Mountain
Boy Who Was a Factor in Inaugurating First Mountain Play to Be Commemorated

Next Sunday as the pale light of dawn streaks the rugged summit of Tamalpais, the ashes of Ramon Pohli the youth who lost his life about a year ago in a fall over a Yosemite ledge, will be scattered over the great rock that marks the entrance to the amphitheatre, and which in the future will be known as Pohli Rock. Reverend G. H. B. Wright will hold a short religious meeting of the boy’s mother and relatives also intimate friends, to witness this spectacle.

Ramon Pohli was a great factor in the bringing about of the last mountain play, which was also the first, and it was much through his work and influence that it was made possible. His great love for Tamalpais and the happy hours he spent on its peak, suggested that there his earthly remains should rest, which was requested by his father who is at present in Switzerland in behalf of the Panama Pacific International Exposition.
