SUCCESSOR TO LOOMS.
Robert Bacon Made First Assistant
Secretary of State.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 7.-President
Roosevelt this afternoon announced
officially the appointment Of Robert
Bacon, of New York, to be first as
sistant secretary of state, to succeed
Francis B. Loomis. The announce
ment was accompanied by statement
that Mr.. Bacon would not assume the
duties of his office for some time, per-
haps until about the middle Of Oc-
tober, after Secretary Root had be-
come settled in the office of secre-
tary of state.
For years Robert Bacon has been
an important figure in the business
life of New York. Until within COM
paratlvely recent months he was a
junior partner in the banking house
or j. P Morgan & company. At the
settlement of the anthracite coal strike
by President Roosevelt, Mr.. Bacon rep
resented Mr.. Morgan in two confer
ences in Washington which made for
an amicable adjustment of the trou-
bic. Subsequently, when Mr.. Bacon
retired from the firm of j. P. Morgan
L. company, the president determined
to utilize his services if suitable
place for him could be found.
Mr.. Bacon was here as a guest of
president and Mrs. Roosevelt at
luncheon 1t is expected that Mr..
LOOMS will relinquish his office in
short time, and his resignation will
take effect at the conclusion of
leave of absence which he proposes
to take. No statement is made con-
corning his possible future in official
life, but as heretofore noted in these
dispatches, his appointment 10 an i'm
portant diplomatic post is problemal.

When asked for a statement regard
ing the appointment of Robert Bacon
to succeed him as assistant secretary
OF state, Francis B. LOomis dictated
the following statement tonight:
Il do not know that there is much
or interest to say. About month

Great is Alfalfa.

Among the northern Montana
ranchers who are enthusiastic in their
praise of alfalfa as a forage crop is
Glenn Sailor, of Box Elder. who was
recent visitor at the River Press
office. Years ago. when he read of
the wonderful crops yielded by alfal-
ia, Mr.. Sailor was inclined to question
the truth of the statements made. but
his personal experience has since con-
verted him to the opinion that it is
the greatest forage producer in the
west
Mr.. Sailor now has about 60 acres
in alfalfa. and calculates that the first
two crops of this season have given
yield OF five tons to the acre, and
the third crop will increase the av-
erage to about seven tons. 1t receiv-
ed one heavy irrigation in March, and
since that time has had no artificial
moisture. From his experiments with
alfalfa, Mr.. Sailor ventures the opin
ion that good stand may be secured
in most locations where the land has
been properly prepared. supply of
moisture as late as the latter part
of June being sufficient to start the
growth. The cost of preparing the
land and seeding he estimates at
about $40 per acre.-River Press.
