CAPITAL IS AT HAND Portland Promoter Will Not Hell tate Should They Become Con vinced That the Project I Feaalble. The establishment of a great depart ment store and commission warehouse at Parkplace seem to be more than a possibility, and It only remains for the promoters of the scheme to be come convinced of a reasonable b lief In Its financial success. During the lust week a party of Portland cap italists have been looking over the field, at the suggestion of W. S. Hurst, who Is heavily Interested In warehouse properties at points In Clackamas anl Marlon counties. They have even made examinations of the territory that would be made a base for supply and were surprised to find a rlcb country In the Beaver Creek and Ab ernetby sections. The growth of kale around Beaver Creek excited their admiration and they had no hesitation In saying that the soil along the Aber ncthy would produce enough peaches to upply the entire Portland markeL But they did not aee a single peach orchard along tbelr route. The members of the party also made a critical examination of the city ordi nances relative to dedication of prop erty for public purposes and state that the maintenance of the Graham dock warehouse at the foot of Eighth street I in direct violation of the city ordi nance, which provide that water front property shall be dedicated for pub lic uses only. The names of the Portland people who are Interested are not given out as the project is not ready for launch' Ing. They have plenty of money and believe that Parkplace offers superior advantages for an establishment that will provide a market for Clackamas County produce, something that has long been desired.
