Seattle, Wash, Feb. l6. The heir
TO the big fortune left by the late
Patrick Sullivan, of this city, has,
after much Litigation, been proved to
be Edward Corcoran, cousin of the
dead millionaire. The fortune is
valued at 50, 500, 900 and consists of
business houses in the most hourish-
ing part of the city. Corcoran's cir
cumstances were quite humble before
this windfall. He was born al ,arri-
galine, County Cork, and has for
fourteen yaers lived in Dublin work
ingasa harness maker. He is wid-
over, with three sons and two daugh-
ters, all living in Dublin. The sons are

Washington, ID. g., Feb. l6.--This
country has big sale in the markets
abroad for oleo and cottonseod. The
report of the department of agricul-
ture issued today shows that the eX-
ports of butter for 1906 amounted TO
s., 900, 900 compared with $12. 900, 600
for cottonseed oil and SIT 900, 600 for
oleo. OF the $l1. 600, 600 exported for
oleo, about half of il went to Holland
and the rest to Germany, England and
Norway. Most of il was made into
.gilt-edged butter.'' The London
market is largely supplied from the
continent with that kind of butter
and its popularity is not disputed.
In the last twelve months 10000, 000
gallons of eottonseed oil was the
amount exported AMI Holland took a
quarter of that to make it over into
butter. chiefly for domestic and the
British market.

It was at recent meeting of the board
Of directors of the Kill & Main EN-
Railroad. Everything was harmonious
until one hard headed director asked of
the President: t
"sir, 1 see by the reports before us that
on the second of the month the engineer
Of a freight train overran his orders, and
crashed into the rear of a passenger train
and killed seven and MANNED fifteen per-
sons.''
Yes, but 1t was an act of Providence" :"
was the reply.
"And on the fifth a passenger train
which had been ordered to sidetrack con-
tinued on and brought about head-on
collision with an accommodation in which
four were killed and nine injured"
''Act of Providence, sir"
"And on the tenth freight train that
did not siacken speed at a curve left the
track and killed the fireman and engineer
and caused damage to the extent of S40,-
0oo"
Nothing but Providence, SIR
''And on the fourteenth" continued the
director, "a siding switch was left open,
and an express dashed In and thirty peo-
pie were killed or hurt. Did Providence
have anything to do with thatT'
''Assuredly, sir. She no debut opened
the switch herself to have the accident
take place where there was plenty of doc
tors at hand"
''And how about the collision the other
day, where we had thirty-six vlctims?"
''Another clear case of Providence, sir.
There was plenty of water In the bitches
