Building Another Ark,

Lately Robert S. Gardener, spe-

has been inspecting and inveStigat-
ing the tribes of "noble red men" who
cumber the earth III various parts OF
Washington Territory. In an inter
view Mr.. Gardner made some inter
esting statements about two tribes IN
eastern Washington. We extract
what follows: 1.-THE Sanpoel tribe
numbers about 400 Indians, and they
all belong to a sect known as the
dreamers. They are looking for an
other food, which they expect soon
to come upon the earth. In order to
be prepared they have secured all the
necessary material for the building OF
an ark, in which to sail of, as Noah
did, when the flood comes. Among
the material is so, 600 feet of lumber;
The ark is to b. fifty feet long ana
about fifty or sixty feet wide.
THE dreamers have a snail follow
ing among the Indians of PalOuSe'
Snake River, Warm Sprng, Umaana
and other tribes. They believe tha'
the whites Will all be drowned when
the food comes and they only VIII q
