ARRANGES FOR
LECTURES IN
EACH DISTRICT

With the view of extending the
scope of the educational system of
the state, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction Alderman propos-
es to establish what is to be known
as the Oregon Lecture Course, and
he believes that it will do much to-
wards the advancement of educa-
ton of both the young and the old
in the country districts.
The plan of the system is to have
series of lectures delivered each
year in the school houses in the
state. The state colleges will be
drawn upon for the lecturers, and
the topics to be assigned to them
will deal with current events. The
library commission will cooperate
with the movement, and will supply
the necessary literature.
For the carrying out of the plan
in the country districts the county
superintendents will be depended
upon.

of the evidence they moved for a
directed verdict which was denied.
A verdict and judgment were rem
dered for plaintiff. Defendants ap-
peal.
Ealkin, c. ]. Conceding that, by
the terms of the contract, plaintiff
had until and including the 18th of
August, 1908, to produce a purchaser
for the property, the question is, Did
he do so? He did not bring the pro-
posed purchaser, Clock, to defendants
or give them an opportunity to close
a contract with him. He only gave
them notice that he had a purchaser
He had no contract with Clock; nor
did Clock offer to purchase. 1t is not
contended that he was ready to pur-
chase, or to bind himself to do so,
but on the contrary plaintiff desired
an extention of time to enable Clock
to determine whether or not he
would purchase. Therefore, plaintiff
did not produce a purchaser, within
the life of the contract, willing to
buy.
1t seems that defendants were anx-
ious to terminate the contract with
plaintiff. Whether they would have
declined to perform if plaintiff had
brought purchaser willing to buy
is immaterial here. To entitle plain
tiff to recover a commission he must
have complied fully with the terms
of the contract by binding contract
with Clock, or by producing to de-
PENDANTS a purchaser ready to pur-
chase. This was not done. The Ian
guage in Boothe v, Boody, 30 Or.
222, 224 is: "The rule unquestiona-
bly, is that before a real estate brok-
er can recover his commissions he
must allege and prove either that he
was the procuring cause of an actual
sale, or that he produced purchas-
er, ready, able and willing to pur-
chase upon the terms named by the
vendor" The same language is used
in Holbrook V. Investment Co., 30
Or. 259, 265; also in Kyle " Rippey,
20 Or. 446.
The identical question involved
here was decided in Watson v.
Brooks, in which it was held that
time was of the essence of the con-
tract, and that a reasonable time af-
ter the expiration of the contract for

the examination Of the title could not
be implied, it is said: "The appellants
were bound to have produced a pur-
chaser not only able, but willing to
consumate the purchase, within the
stipulated time" To the same effect
are 1s Cyc 254; Sastner V. Richard
son, is Colo. 1876; and note to Lun-
ney V. Healey, "A L. R. A. sos. And
in York v. Nash, AZ Or. 80, $50, it is
said that a real estate broker finds
purchaser, able, ready, and willing
to purchase upon the terms of the
seller, is not enough, under the ap-
parent weight of authority, TO entitle
him to his commission, but he must
either obtain a binding agreement to
purchase the property, or bring the
parties together so that his principal
also finds a purchaser" The plain
tiff in this case did neither; at most
the letter was an offer to produce a
purchaser if defendants would extend
the time of the contract. The pur-
chaser must have accepted the terms
of the offer within the life of the
contract: Davis " Brigham, = Or.
-; 107 Pac. 961.
Therefore the nonsuit should have
been allowed. The Judgment is re-
versed and the cause remanded.

On May IL, 1908, defendants for a
consideration entered into a contract
with plaintiff, giving him the exclu-
sive authority for 80 days to sell for
them 300 acres of land at 100000, and
in case of a sale by plaintiff he
sbould have a commission of $500,

days until five days notice of with

dants gave notice, in writing, of
withdrawal of the property from
