The main question for determination arises upon both the motion to dismiss the appeal, and the application for an injunction order. If the order appealed from is an appealable order, within the meaning of Section 548, Of. L., then the question of the continuation of the injunction must he considered. If no appeal lies from the intermediate order dissolving the preliminary injunction then this court has no jurisdiction in the matter and the appeal must be dismissed and no further consideration need he given to the matter of the injunction.
The right of appeal is wholly statutory and the methods of procedure therein are such only as the statute provides. The right to prosecute an appeal from an interlocutory order is purely statutory and unless such right is so given, no appeal lies:
Kadderly
v.
Portland,
Section 548, Or. L., as amended by General Laws of 1923, page 216, providing when a judgment, decree or order may he reviewed upon appeal, provides as followrs:
*557 “A judgment or decree may be reviewed as prescribed in this chapter, and not otherwise. _ An order affecting a substantial right, and which in effect determines the action or suit so as to prevent a judgment or decree therein, or an interlocutory decree in a suit for the partition of real property, defining the rights of the parties to the suit and directing sale or partition, or a final order affecting a substantial right, and made in a proceeding after judgment or decree, or an order setting aside a judgment and granting a new trial, for the purpose of being reviewed, shall be deemed a judgment or decree. * * ”
We notice that this section defines the classes of orders which are appealable and also declares that such orders are deemed judgments or decrees. The classes of orders from which an appeal may be taken must either possess or partake of the quality of a finality. It has been held that an order is final for the purpose of an appeal when it determines the rights of the parties, and no further questions can arise before the court granting the order except such as are necessary to be determined in carrying it into effect:
State
v.
Security Sav. Co.,
“The granting or refusing such an injunction rests largely within the discretion of the court, and being merely an interlocutory order, made during the progress of the cause, does not ordinarily partake of the nature of a final judgment or decree to such an extent as to warrant an appeal therefrom. (2 High, Injunctions, § 1693).”
Helm
v.
Gilroy,
The statute authorizes an intermediate order affecting a substantial right of a party, even though not appealable, to be brought to the appellate court by an appeal from the judgment or decree, and not by an appeal from the order itself:
Taylor
v.
Taylor,
Ordinarily an order granting or dissolving a preliminary injunction is not appealable for the reason that it is an intermediate order and is usually temporary and devoid of a quality of a finality:
Salem Kings Prod. Co.
v.
La Follette,
In
Sears
v.
Dunbar,
“Prom these authorities it is clear that, if the ruling had the effect to finally terminate defendant’s rights or interests in the subject of the suit, it was final as to him, even though it did not determine the merits of the case. * * ”
“The rule,” said Mr. Chief Justice Wolverton, in
State ex rel.
v.
Downing,
*559
In
Baker
v.
Williams Banking Co.,
It is stated in 2 High on Injunctions (4 ed.), Section 1477, thus:
“If, however, the dissolution leaves nothing more to be decided in the injunction suit, it is proper for the court to order the case stricken from the docket, nothing more remaining to be tried in the action. And since a motion to dissolve for want of equity in the bill operates as a demurrer, a decree sustaining such motion and dissolving the injunction is final if no other relief is sought in the case, and an appeal will lie from such decree.”
■ This statément is based upon the cases in the State of Illinois.
The general rule is stated in 3 C. J. 455, Section 266, as follows:
“In some jurisdictions the statute authorizes an appeal from an order which in effect determines the action or proceeding and prevents a judgment from which an appeal might be taken, or from an order which affects a substantial right, when such order in effect determines the action or proceeding and prevents a judgment or decree therein, or a final judgment therein, or prevents a judgment from which an appeal might be taken, or discontinues the action. As indicated above, the language of the statutes varies somewhat in the different jurisdictions, but their effect is substantially the same. Under such a provision an order, to be appealable, must not only
*560
affect a substantial right, where this is required, but must also in effect determine the action and prevent a judgment or decree therein.” Citing, among other cases,
Medford First Christian Church
v.
Robb,
Applying the test prescribed by our statute and the announcements of this court in the cases above cited, it may be said that the order dissolving the' temporary injunction affected a substantial right. The order does not in effect determine the suit so as to prevent a judgment or decree therein. In so far as the record shows the action is still pending and in the ordinary course will be decided and determined and a final decree entered from which an appeal can be taken to this court. Should the appeal from this intermediate order be allowed and the one taken from the final decree in the suit, two appeals would be taken in the suit in which the same matter, namely, the order dissolving a temporary injunction, could be reviewed. Upon the final hearing the Circuit Court may render a decree making the injunction perpetual thereby, revoking the intermediate order dissolving the same:
State ex rel. Downing,
It might further be noted that the right of appeal from an interlocutory decree is by the statute especially limited to suits in partition, and no others. The inclusion in the statute of an interlocutory decree in a suit for the partition of real property has the effect of excluding any other intermediate decree. The right of an appeal from an interlocutory order, or decree, is properly a matter for legislative consideration. Some statutes make it proper for an
*561
appeal from such an order or decree. Had our lawmakers intended to allow the right of appeal from an interlocutory decree, granting or refusing, or dissolving a temporary injunction, it seems they would have so provided in plain terms. An appeal is not a matter of primary right, it is a privilege, and he who would enjoy that privilege must show some statute conferring it upon him.
State ex rel.
v.
Simpson,
The appellants rely principally upon the opinions of this court in the cases of
Malagamba
v.
McLean,
Birkemeier v. Milwaukie, supra, was a suit by Birkemeier against the town of Milwaukie to enjoin the municipality from proceeding in the matter of water works.. Upon a hearing of the cause upon plaintiffs’ demurrer to defendants’ answer therein, the court overruled the demurrer and dissolved the injunction theretofore issued and the plaintiffs thereupon appealed. The defendants contended that the order was not appealable within the meaning of Section 548, L. O. L., and moved to dismiss the appeal. The motion was heard before Mr. Justice Uarr.ts and the opinion written by the same Justice. The opinion holds that the ruling upon the demurrer did not have the effect of deciding the suit and that the order overruling the demurrer was not appealable.
In regard to that part of the appeal relating to the dissolution of the temporary injunction, Mr. Justice Harris states thus: “Ordinarily, an order granting or denying a preliminary injunction is not appealable:
Helm
v.
Gilroy,
This conclusion is shown by the opinion of the same learned Justice in the case of
Salem Kings Prod. Co.
v.
La Follette,
“If, therefore, the injunction order made in the instant case is not an appealable order, then the only method by which it can be presented to this court is by an appeal from the decree rendered in the suit. Ordinarily an order granting or dissolving a preliminary injunction is not appealable for the reason that it is an intermediate order and is usually temporary and devoid of the quality of a finality:
Helm
v.
Gilroy,
After discussing the latter question raised by La Follette, the court held that the appeal should *564 be sustained for the reason that it was taken from a void order. The case is not analogous to the present case. No decision of this court is cited by counsel authorizing an appeal from an intermediate order granting or dissolving a preliminary injunction and we find none.
The rule that an order made on a motion to dissolve a preliminary injunction which does not otherwise dispose of the case is not final but interlocutory, is supported by the authorities. Note, Ann. Cas. 1912C, 898, and cases there cited.
This court has no jurisdiction to entertain this appeal or to issue a restraining order during the pendency of the cause. It follows that the application for a continuance of the injunction must be denied and the appeal dismissed.
Appeal Dismissed.
