Fremont Bafled at Port Republic.

The village Of Port Republic lies in
the angle formed by the junction of
North and South rivers, the approach
on Fremont's route being a bridge over
North river and that on Shields route
by a ford in South river. Jackson let
the bridge stand on Fremont's road
and left the ford intact ahead Of
Shields. He placed his army west Of
North river on the heights between
Fremont and the bridge and stationed
pickets on Shields route. 1t was Satur-
day night, June Z. Early next morning
the scouts brought word that Shields
cavalry was rushing on Port Republic.
Jackson sent his aids to the front
with orders and dashed over the bridge
under the fire of carbines from Shields
troopers. One piece of horse artillery
was unlimbering at the east end Of the
bridge, and, supposing 1t to belong to
a Virginia battery, he ordered it across
without ceremony. The response was
a shot which tore up the earth around
him The gun belonged to Shields,
and the bridge was in danger of cap
ture Fortunately one Of the aids had
outstripped the commander in the
flight over the bridge, and a Confed-
crate gun was in position near Jack

Always in the past there have been

Oklahoma has in round numbers
fortyfiye million acres, OF which
about one-third are titled. II would
be an easy matter TO double the num-
Der of acres tillable, and by apply

supporting a little less than two mill

to sell, We could easily support seven
to ten millions of people within this

The surprise that confronts the far
mer that comes from Iowa, Illinois,

of crops that may be produced in this
state. There one good crop with pos
sibly half a crop of one or two other
cereals, is the limit. Here cotton and
corn grow side by side apparently

is the greater success. In the worst
