"He Is extremely well recom mended by the bankers of Portland, who are confident that he can ac complish the results If anyone can." Mr. Mlcelll says. "He is a man wljh considerable wealth himself and he has the backing of some of the weal thiest men of the slate. He was the first vice-president of the old com pany, although he. took little active part In the affairs of the organiza tion. He is a man of wide exper ience In the cannery business and is without doubt one of the best men for the position." At the meeting, Mr. Mlcelll states, a very workable plan was presented. It was determined to allow the old company to go Into bankruptcy, as this appears to be the quickest way out of the difficulty. To fight bank ruptcy and attempt a reorganization would be a long and troublesome procedure, while to go Into bank ruptcy a clear title could be secured on which to base future activity. Under this plan the secured credit ors would take the stock of goods now held in the company's ware houses, while the unsecured credit ors will take the physical assets con sisting of the various plants. The new company will then take over the plants, issuing bonds to pay the creditors, with the plants as security on the bonds, and with the support given by the communities can pro ceed to operate and liquidate the debts. This ean only- be accomplished by j the co-operation of the communities j In which the canneries are located , and by the co-operation of all per ; sons who are Interested In saving the fruit and berry crops. Mr. Mlcelll states that not all of the plants will be reopened but Rose . burg Is so situated that the cannery here will be reopened, providing the '. community gives the necessary co ' operation and support.
