Abstract
"Until 1922, when Yakima agency was removed to Toppenish, Fort Simcoe was the headquarters for the Agency which had attracted national attention under the able direction of 'Father' James H. Wilbur. Contrary to the arguments of those who believed the race doomed to extermination because of natural or other causes the Indians of the Yakima Reservation were 'not fading away before the breath of the white man'. Instead a small increase in population was reported from year to year."
