The Sleep and the Awakening.
From the Oregonian.

From the Oregonian.
IF the truth must be told about the
necessity that cempels the importation
Of meats, fruits, vegetables, eggs, but
ter and pretty much all other articles
of food into Oregon from California
and the eastern States-and truth tell
ing on matter of so much Importance
has become imperativs-then it must
he said that great many people here
who own land, and others who ought
to own land since it may be had for the
taking, are shamefully lazy. If a ju-
dicious observer we're asked what, in
his opinion, this country needs most,
answer, "A proper number of well ap-
pointed funerals" The sarcasm would
need no explanation. The country has
too many siaggards. Habits of care
less and lazy living, formed during the
long period of our isolation, Will, in
case of many, perhaps most, never be
changed. There are men who own
large tracts of land of which they make
little use, nor ever will make more,
who must be borne with while they
live, since they never will add much to
the activity or industry of the country;
who in the days of old acquired habits
of indolent, shiftless and hand-to-
mouth living, ,and will continue the
same to the end Of their lives. The
country must grow without the assist
| ance of these unprogressive classes; it
must even carry them rs dead weight.
But there is a goodly portion even Of
its old population who are active, intel
ligent and enterprising, and these are
rapidly being reinforced by arrivals
from other States. A country natu-
rally so fruitful as this cannot long be
compelled to bring from abroad almost
everything that goes down the throats
of its people, except their drinking wa
ter. 1t is reproach to it that it is
compelled to do so now. Oregon has
been settled longer than Minnesota; il
is an cider American community than
California; and the State, in many nat
ural resources and advantages, is fan
more favored than either. 1t can beat
them in every important product Of
agriculture. How long, then, will ii
he forced to depend on them for The
food it consumesl There must be ar
awakening, and it can't come too soon

An excellent select reading was given
by Anna Cooper Several dialogues
were well acted. The attendance was
large and the exercises reflected credit
upon teachers and pupils.
This is the first exhibition of the
season. Let us hear frcm other schools.
We believe that all schools should have
at least one public entertainment in a
term. 1t is certainly beneficial to all
who take part therein. The publish
ment of teachers reports and school
exhibitions would be of great value.

RUMoRED REsIGNATIoN.-The latest
rumor in legal circles is to the effect
that Judge stott will resign his Office
at New Years, and associate himself
with partner fer the practice of bis
profession. The legal fraternity ara
now endeavoring to ind out who will
be Judge Stott's successor. Severa
parties are named, but nothing definite
is known in the matter. It is said thai
two or three of the aspirants for th.
place have already been making pill

being assured that their judicial pros
lrects are all right

APPLES AS FooD.-Apples have al
ways been used for desert. Pliny tells
US of twenty-five varieties cultivated
by Romans, now we possess over 1000
kinds. As an article of food they rank
with the potato, and on account of the
variety of ways they can be cooked
are preferred by many TO the potato.
As substitute for pastry they are in.
valuable, feeding the brain as well as
flesh producing, preventing constipa.
tion and acidity. A ripe, raw apple is
digested in an hour half, while a
boiled potato takes three hours. Sweet
apples, baked or stewed, are best used
idstead of sour varieties. Every meal
should have apples cooked in some form
or other, and children should be allowed
to eat as many as they want. Instead
of using the quack nostrums sold for
the blood. or other patent medicines,
use apples freely as food, and as far as
possible in the place of potatoes, and
the testimony Of the medical profession
goes to prove the healthful qualities oi
this excellent fruit.

The Oampbsll Case.

The time OF the United States Circuit
court was consumed on November 7th
with the argument of counsel in the
case of Andrew NJ. Campbell, charged
with robbing the postofice safe at Ore
gon City, and at 5 o'clock the jury re-
tired, but In short time returned with
a verdict of not guilty. This verdict IS
endorsed by nearly all who are familiar
with the case. The theory OF the pros
ecution was one of those very dangerous
positions SO frequently taken by public
prosecutions, that the defendant must
be convicted because he is charged with
the crime. The points in the States
case were that the postoffice at Oregon
City was robbed; that the defendant was
in Oregon City at the time; going there
the day before and leaving a day or two
afterwards. The prosecution relied on
UUC SJdtCLiCil1O Va SH0 WLOiSoS W CllO CACCt
that the defendant had admitted tile
crime while under the infuenceof liquor
or opium; but this witness was success
fully impeached, and the case was left
with scarcely shadow of foundation
The defense established an alibi to the
satisfaction Of the jury, that is, showed
where he was at the time the robbery
is supposed to have taken place. Mr..
Campbell is q young man, but has not
had the advantages that many other
people have had He is waiter by pro-
fession, but man Of many good quail
tiles. It is rather hard 10 drive him te
the verge of ruin by charging hin
with crime and attempting to force hin
to the penitentiary when the facts dt
not justify it. Besides establishing Mr.
CampbelIs innocence, the prosecution
has shown that the United States off
cials have been on the wrong scent TO
three years. [Standard.

Writing of the Short Line road, a cor
respondent of the Baker City, Oregon,
Tribune, says: While the Short Line
road has been rapidly built, the work
has been thoroughly done. Indeed, it
would be hard to find railway more
thoroughly constructed in the West
than this. The roadbed looks like that
of an old road. and they can run their
passenger trains forty miles an hour
with perfect safety from Granger to Po-
catello. The train which I came in was
little over two hours late when we
left Granger, and this was all made up
and we were running on time before
We had gone ITO miles. AT Hams
Fork, AZ miles from the main line,
there was as fine coal fields as have been
found west of the Missouri river.
