      "The head of a buck seized by District Game Warden Earl B. Houston was auctioned at the close of the home product banquet at the gymnasium, for the use of the Red Cross in alleviating suffering in Bend. It brought $119. The venison had already been sold for $44.90, devoted to the same purpose, “making a total of $163.90 for charitable purposes”.",
      "What happened to it afterwards is one sentence, and it is the sentence this record exists for. The auction was conducted by Carl A. Johnson.",
      "It is a small item and it does three useful things. It puts an object in the clubroom — this archive has almost no idea what the inside of the building looked like, beyond two large stone fireplaces noted at its demolition thirty-five years later. It shows the club buying rather than being given. And it catches two men who recur: C. S. Hudson, who went to Portland with the club in 1913 and undertook a quarter of its debt in 1919, and Carl A. Johnson, the club's first vice-president in 1918, who fourteen months after this auction would present the Bend Commercial Club with a juniper block bearing a Bend emblem."
