PARKPLACE
IS FAVORED
PLANS LAID FOR ESTABLISHMENT
. .OF COMMISSION WAREHOUSE. .
AND 8TORE.
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.
