| dc.description.abstract | "He wanted to get back to the Pacific Coast, so asked for a transfer in government service, and was sent as chief clerk to the Puyallup Indian Agency, and from there as chief clerk at Fort Simcoe. In this position he went to Toppenish every three months to pay the Indians their lease money. There was no town, but Frank Williams (Toppenish Trading Co.) always loaned him a small table and chair, in the little building on the railroad right of way, where the Indians were paid. He often said that if the government would ever allow any land to be sold there, it was a logical place for a town." | en_US |
