In his funeral oration over the re
mains of Michael J. Heney. the North
ern railway builder, Bishop O’Dea grew
eloquent. ‘'No ordinary mortal stood
higher,” said the bishop, ‘‘not alone in
the estimation of those who knew him,
but of the great public of the Pacific
coast and Alaska. His name may well
be emblazoned on the scrolls of Time,
as it is in the history of Alaska and the
British Yukon, as a man of superb
character and splendid qualities of
heart and mind.” In the presence of
thousands of sorrowing friends and
comrades, the late Michael J. Heney
was buried at Seattle on Oct. 19, in the
beautiful Catholic cemetery of Calvary,
where his last resting place is marked
by a mountain of floral tributes, de
posited there by his many friends. The
ceremony was conducted in St. James
cathedra! by Bishop O’Dea, and the
cathedral was filled to the doors, with
hundreds on the steps and in the street.
The will of Mr. Heney was admitted to
probate Oct. 29. The schedule of the
estate shows that Mr. Heney died
worth $800,000, and he divides the es
tate among his friends. His secretary,
Siegley, and A. G. Kiins are named as
executors. Besides the natural heirs
at law, the beneficiaries are Captain
O'Brien, the Northern navigator, Win.
G. (Stikine Bill) Robinson and his
brother John O. Robinson, who were
both with Heney in the construction of
the Northern railroads; Samuel Mur
chison, Dr. Whiting, Archie W.
Shields of Cordova, Richard H. Simp
son, Mrs. Emma Hawkins, wife of Chief
Engineer Hawkins of the Heney con
