C. The session was one that means much to the Pacific Northwest for it was attended by men who are keen students of agricultural possibilities and what they saw here impressed them. They were afforded an op­ portunity to inspect the various farming districts of the state by means of special trains run by the Portland Commercial Club to Wil lamelte Valley points .nd Hood River. On thece trips they were gue.ts of the Commercial Club and were es corted by a speci 1 committee of prominent Oregon people who gave all the information desired on the different districts inspected.
