BLYTH GIVES WARNING Oregon Fruit Marketed Abroad as California Product, t "The people of Oregon ought to take measures Immediately to see to it that all Oregon fruits sold abroad and In the East are plainly labeled as coming from this state," declared Percy H. Blyth, owner of large realty interests in fortiana. who has arrived from his present home near London, to look after his property here. "As a matter of fact. California generally gets the credit for growing the very parcels of fruit that are grown in this state. "People abroad have the Impression that all fruits come from California. Salesmen everywhere are selling excel lent Oregon-grown fruits as the Cali fornia product. A big grocer at Hart ford, near London, sold me some prunes that bore the California" lafiel and which were advertised conspicuously in his store window as the famous Cali fornia variety. 1 asked him to allow me to see the box that they came In and it bore the name of a Portland wholesale house. On the steamer Olym pic, apples supposedly Californian, were served, but I quickly recognized their Oregon flavor. "I was particularly struck by the Intense Interest displayed in England concerning the Pacific Coast. I gave one man a copy of the New Year's Ore gonlan and he prized It so highly that he had It bound carefully, saying that by this he could trace the progress of Portland and Oregon from year to year. Even yet, it would do a lot of good to scatter a supply of that splendid and attractive edition broadcast over Eng land. Air. Blyth was formerly a member of the Arm of Russell & Blyth. predeces sors of the present firm of Wilder Bros., this city. He will be at the Multnomah Hotel for about a month.
