Mr. and Mrs. Hamer, who live near St. Peters dome, not only discovered it but were present at Us birth. ' When the big slide that blocked the Columbia river highway for a consider able distance last spring came tumbling down the mountain side, Mr. and Mrs. Hamer were in their house near the Dome.

The slide crossed the highway and -out over the O-W. R. & N. .tracks. Following In the wake of the slide, a small stream came dashlner down the ! mountain side. Augmented by the melt- tnpr snows, this stream has assumed considerable proportions and supports the view held at the time the -slide oc curred, that it was caused by the forma tion of a small lake near the summit or tne mountain.

Sr. Boyd Pays Trlbste "I feel the utter inadequacy of any word which might be uttered," said the Rev. John H Boyd, pastor of the. First Presbyterian church, in his funeral ad dress, "to set forth the worth of the life which has been taken. I do not be lieve it is an hour for speech, but it is an hour for memory, to yield ourselves for an hour like this and just think of the possibilities of a human life as ex emplified in Mrs. Mann. Seventy-six years has the Journey across the earth taken her. For a large part of that time she had the worthy, beautiful and satisfying companlonshlpNof her noble husband. For the last 10 years she has walked alone. Her life, as we all know, was singular in its breadth and dynamity." - Fosaded Mass Home Dr. Boyd spoke of the wonderful work she had done for the aged and . the young through her connections with the old peoples' home at Laurelhurst, known as the Mann home, and Iter Interest In the children's home.

Dr. Boyd also spoke of her interest in the First Presbyterian church, and how she gave money when she could not take an active part in Its undertak ings. He told of the kindly and spir itual Influence she held over all those who were intimately associated with her and spoke of the joy of visiting her in her home where she was all serenity but eager to help others wherever help could be given. t Likened to Ripe Grain "I do not love the growing grain ; it is not as pleasing to me as that deep, rich, ripe color, and the stalk that holds itself erect has not the grace of the full headed grain that bends itself In the humility of its own age and per fection." He compared Mrs. Mann with the ripened grain which breathed forth an aroma which was not found in the younger stalk. A quartet, composed of Miss Astrid Roal, W. Irwin, Mrs. V.
