Heading: Frontier's Request for Attorney Fees on Appeal.

Text: Frontier requests attorney fees on appeal pursuant to provisions in the note, deed of trust, and I.C. §§ 12-120(3) and 121. The first provision of the note, appearing in the second paragraph on page 3, states: Should any action be brought for the collection of any principal or interest of this Note, the undersigned promises to pay all costs thereof, including such additional sum as attorney fees as the court may adjudge reasonable. Douglass and Hassing were the undersigned who promised to pay reasonable attorney fees in the event that an action was brought to collect any principal or interest. Pursuant to this provision, and because Frontier is the prevailing party on appeal, we award reasonable attorney fees on appeal to Frontier. See Hellar v. Cenarrusa, 106 Idaho 571, 578, 682 P.2d 524, 531 (1984) (attorney fees are to be awarded only where they are authorized by statute or contract). For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the decision of the district court. Costs and attorney fees on appeal to Frontier. JOHNSON and TROUT, JJ., concur. BAKES, J., Pro Tem (following retirement on February 1, 1993), concurs.
