Abstract
"Fort Simcoe, Yakima County, is to be restored! Blockhouses that once were riddled with bullets and splintered with arrows, again will shine like protecting angels to the frightened; officers' homes, in which many a homesick officer's wife wept out her heart as she wrote gallant letters home, will stand like white story-book houses on the tree-lined street; relics that once abounded at the fort will find their way to the museum, a part of the restoration scheme; a tree planted by Father Wilbur, the so-called patron saint of the early Indians, will become a shrine, as will the old fruit tree planted by President Ulysses S. Grant."
