Opinion by

Mr. Chief Justice Eakin.

It appears that the defendant resigned from the ‍​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‍office of county judge in May, 1910, at which time he ceased to exercise the office or act as county judge of Multnomah ‍​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‍County;’ and Section 3059, if applicable to county judges, *377which we do not decide, is functus officio as to duties required of defendant during the time ‍​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‍he exercised the office. The controversy is at an end. The conditions have so changed that any judgment rendered upon this appeal could ‍​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‍not be made effective: State ex rel. v. Grand Jury, 37 Or. 542 (62 Pac. 208); Moores v. Moores, 36 Or. 261 (59 Pac. 327); State ex rel. v. Fields, 53 Or. 453 (101 Pac. 218). Therefore ‍​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‍this court will not determine the question suggested.

The appeal is dismissed. Dismissed.
