The club gave the dinner, the town was invited, and the paper asked for fish.
Two days before the Oregon State Bankers’ Association met in Bend, the paper printed the final arrangements — a dinner at the Pilot Butte Inn on the Friday, a dance after it, the logging camps on the Saturday, and the Emblem Club’s dinner that evening, both affairs open to the public. The paragraph is set apart below, because the line that makes it worth keeping is the last one and it only lands at the end of the logistics.
This is the same visit that a notice of May 27 had previewed, when the committee announced a song service by the Emblem Club and W. D. Cheney wired from Seattle that he would come down to take charge of the evening's programme. Between the two pages the shape of the occasion is clear: the club fed the bankers, the town was welcome, and somebody had to go fishing.
From the source
… Butte Inn Friday night, to be followed by a dance, the public being invited to both affairs. On Saturday the visitors will be taken to the logging camps and in the evening entertained at a dinner by the Emblem club, also open to the public. Reservations for both the dinner at the Inn and at the Emblem club should be made at once, it was announced. A request was also made for trout for the club dinner.
