landlord Permitted to Re-enter
' Property to Prevent AYaste
and Deterioration.
BY IX. B. SHIVEL.T.
Chairman Legal Committee Portland
Realty Board.
"When a tenant vacates and abandons
Jeased premises, may the landlord take
possession thereof and still hold the
tenant to the terms of the written
3easc? And under the same circum
stances, may the landlord relet the
premises to another and not thereby
release the tenant from further obli
gations to pay rent?
These questions are answered in the
affirmative by the supreme court of
the state of Oregon in the cases of
.Meagher versus Eilers Music House
4 Ore. Z'i. 164 Pac. 373) and Brown
"Versus Clarke (22 Ore. D56. 30 Pac. 430).
In the Meagher case, the tenant had
Erased certain premises for a four-year
term. During the second year of his
.lease, he removed from the premises
and left the keys at the landlord's
place of business in the latter's ab
sence. As soon as the landlord learned
that the tenant had so left the keys he
notified him that the premises were
t ill at his disposition.
Tenant to Pay Rent.
When the tenant refused to take
charge of the leased premises, the
landlord rented the same to a third
party "temporarily" and with an ex
press understanding that if the former
tenant returned, the premises were to
te delivered to him at once. The ten
ant insisted that the act of the landlord
in so reletting the premises released
um from his obligation to pay rent.
'This, our supreme court denied, and
held that upon the abandonment of
the premises by the tenant, the land
lord would have been within his rights
if he had left the rooms vacant with
out attempting to relet them. Reset
ting the premises under the above cir
cumstances was in reality for the ten
ant's benefit, since his liability under
the lease was reduced by whatever ex
tent rentals were paid on the relet
ting. In passing upon the matter our
Eupreme court said:
If the landlord had done nothing the
lessee would nevertheless have been liable
for the full rental, even though the prem
ises had remained vacant ; and the lessee
should not complain if the landlord did his
best to minimize his liability.
Tt is to be remembered, however,
that if the landlord repossesses him
self of the leased premises "as of his
former estate" that is to say: if the
landlord, by re-entering and by his acts
subsequent thereto evidences his inten
tion not to be bound by the lease with
the tenant and in effect repudiates the
lease, then the tenant is forthwith re
leased from the payment of all rent
.subsequently accruing. The lease
then considered to have been cancelled

ties. Meagher versus Eilers Music

Inability KndM With Surrender.
The effect of a surrender of keys by
the tenant is discussed in the early
case of L-add versus Smith 6 Ore. 316).
in which our supreme court said that
whether the delivery of keys by the
tennnt to the landlord and their ac
ceptance by the latter and his resump
tion of possession was a surrender of
the lease depended upon the intention
of the parties, and that the landlorc
It ad the right to accept the keys and
lake possession of the premises in or
der to protect them from waste. "The
law," said our supreme court, "does
not infer an acceptance of the surren
der from such acts." But when the
landlord subsequently relet the prem
ises to another tenant and delivered
possession to him. without intend
ing said reletting to be for the benefit
of the first tenant, then the surrender
of the lease by the tenant, evidenced
ry the delivery of the keys, was there
by accepted by the landlord, and the
liability of the first tenant vras at an
end.
In Bowen versus Clarke, above cited,
there was a surrender of keys by the
tennt and a reletting by the landlord
to another tenant. At the time the
ky were surrendered the landlord
told the tenant he would not release
4h tenant but would hold thf prem
iss lor rent and that the keys were
subject to the tenant's order. Under
1 hese circumstances the court clearly
expresses the rights of the landlord in
liho following language:
Effect Rrsts on Intention.
Tt In therefore manifest that the court
bought to attach enttrelr too much impoi"t-
nrr to the delivery of the keys of the
building to th plaintiff, the landlord, and
Via attempt to relet the premises. The leal
ffeet of these acta depends very much
"with what intent the keys were delivered
to the plaintiff, and with what Intent nnd
for what purpose he accepted the same. The
lefp ndants had abandoned the premises at
that timr, and no doubt were anxious to
surrender the Mm, but they could not,
without the plRtntiff's consent, relieve them
Mves from liability under the lease.
The pl.iintiff, An a prudent landlord, was
not bound to refuse to care for his prem
1 's, nor was he bound .to rivpt another as
his tenant who was not satisfactory to him.
He w as the owner, and had the
ripht to accept the keys for the purpose of
raring for his property, without waiving his
HRhts under the Ir-ase. If the plaint
iff had accepted a nw tenant, as the au
thorities :fcni to hold h- mij;ht have done
vithotit effecting a surrender of the prem
ises, he w ps not bound to do so. Replnf

defendant as his tenant under a valid
lease, and we know of no law that w on Id
enable them, without the consent cf the
TWintiff, to repudiate their contract, and
to exact a release from the plaintiff, and
rompel him to accept another tenant in their
tead.
From the foregoing it is clear that
when a tenant abandons leased prem
ises the landlord may. without preju
dice, accept the keys, and re-enter the
premises for the purpose of preventing
waste and deterioration and may even
relet the property provided he does so
for the tenant's benefit, and in recog
n.tion of the tenant's lease. In the
event of a reletting, rents collected are
to be credited to tenant's account and
th tenant may be held for any de
ficiency that may exist.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
liquor business has been abolished by
law in the United States. Puyallup val

hops this year than at any time since
1882. This year they sold their hops
on contract from 18 to 27 cents a

at 40 and 45 cents and men in the mar
ket predict that the price will go to
65 cents. "
A liirge share of the hops are sold

ases among the city s livestock en
thusiasts who have been stoutly main
taining that the big structure, which is
to cover 7 acres, could not possibly
be finished in time for the Pacific In
ternational's annual show In November.
"The huge building is already more
than 50 per cent complete." said Chair
man Frank Robertson yesterday, "and
is far in advance of the calendar sched
ule which was carefully mapped out in
making the plans. There is now no
doubt that it will be entirely completed
by November 1, giving us a lieway of
more than two weeks for detail equip
ment before our big show opens on
November 17. Superintendent George L.
Buckler, who is in charge of construc
tion, is pushing the work with all pos
sible speed and the vast amount of
made-in-Oregon material being used is
handled in a way that is the last word
in efficiency.
Mechanical Aids Used.
"A half dozen lines of portable rail
way are being utilized and all ma
terials are set down within a few feet
of the place tney are to be used: big
cranes and donkey engtne are kept
busy all over the building site all the
time, and 'there is not a single section
of the whole structure that Is behind
schedule, the major portion being far
in advance of the dates set. Mr. Buck
ler, who came here from the east re
cently, has had extensive experience in
construction work on a large scale, hav
ing been in charge of some of the big
gest terminal facilities and munition
plants in the country. It has been a
revelation to our building committee to
watch the rapid and systematic con
struction work."
The big beet barns flanking the main
stadium and the adjacent arenas of the
building are now practically completed,
and the huge dairy barns, which will
house 4000 purebred animals, will prob
ably be finished within the next two
weeks. The west and south sides of
the big brick amphitheater are now up
and next week work will begin on the
mmense truss structure for the roof
nd interior of the big pavilion that
will seat 8000 people and have an addi-
ional capacity of 3000 or 4000 more by
using the huge sales ring, at a pinch.
Auditorium Is Huge.
The great auditorium, according to
General Manager Plummer of the Pa
cific International, is probably destined
to figure prominently in the future his-
ory of Portland, as it will seat more
than double the capacity of even the
municipal auditorium and can be used
for great national conventions or other
monster meetings.
The central stadium of the building
covers an acre of 200x300 feet, and on
either side of it will be an arena ca
pable of seating 1000, each with a big
sales ring where sales of different
breeds may be conducted at the same
time exhibitions or other events are in
progress in the main stadium. "There
are to be sections for horses, goats.
sheep and swine in addition to the great
beef and dairy sections, and each
division is to be equ'pped with the
latest modern facilities, with special
consideration for sanitation, ventilla-
tion and heating. An abundance of run
ning hot and cold water will be pro
vided so that the animals may be
groomed and kept In display condition
at all times.
Work is also steadily proceeding on
the 27-foot hard-surface roadway that
will lead from the approach of the in
terstate bridge to the building. The
7fe acres of the building site not oc
cupied by the big building will be
utilized for automobile parking space
and ornamental lawn strips. A parking
system, which will enable all cars to
check in and out with the minimum of
time and trouble, will be installed, each
car having access to an open roadway.

of the A. Guthrie company.

Youths Quit Schools to Go About
Lecturing Against Aggression
and Preaching Patriotism.
In a letter to her parents. Mr. and
aI rs- " - A. Hreck . 3S 4 Ea t h or ly-secon d
"uaenia concerning the aggressions of
Japan in that country.
Miss Kretk states that the reeling
against J.ipan has been running pretty
high, and that many of the boys'
schools in various parts of the country
have discontinued their classes, the stu
dents going about lecturing and trying
in every possible way to bring before
their people the matter of Japan's
wrongs to Chtn-. and heir protest that
the peace conference did not insist on
the unconditional return of Shantung
by Japan. Even the youths of tha
grammar schools are Joining the schol
ars of the high schools and colleges In
this publicity work, and the example
and information furnished by there
young patriots la having tremendous ef
fect on the people In general, accord
ing to Miss Breck.
While their brothers are circulating
literature and their elders are boy
cotting things Japanese, the little girls
of China are not letting their patriot
ism languish as is Illustrated, by a story
which Miss Hreck quotes from tha
North China Star. In a girls' school in
Peking an examination in geography
was held, and one of the requirements
was to draw a map of Asia. One of tha
girls asked the teacher In a casual way
if it was necessary to draw all the little
islands on the coast of Asia. Tha'
teacher replied in the negative, and tha
result was that not a single girl in the
class Included Japan In the map oC
Asia.
