139 P. 921 | Or. | 1914
delivered the opinion of the court.
The contract with the reclamation service and the trust deed are both set out in full in the complaint, which contains recitals as to the relations existing be
The terms of the trust deed and the consideration therefor are provided and fully appear in the contract, and it is not possible to intelligently dispose of the case without construing the terms of the contract to ascertain whether there has been a breach thereof. This cannot be done without the presence of the parties affected by it. It is not a question of whether the trustee is an agent of the government or of the reclamation service. The trust deed cannot be considered alone. It is only a part of the execution of the contract, and thereby the reclamation service is a party to the deed as much as if signed by it, and both have to be considered together. This cannot be done without the presence of the contracting parties.
The grounds alleged for cancellation and breach of the contract are defaults of the reclamation service,
The decree is affirmed.
Affirmed: Rehearing Denied.
