STATE LAND LAWS 101 



DEEDS. SECS. 112-113 



In the absence of fraud, a deed will not be set aside merely for the mis- 

 take or failure of the board to find that the land bore more than the prohibi- 

 tive amount of timber : Stale v. Ort, 66 Wash. 130. 



As to sales made by mistake or not in accordance with the law, this pro- 

 vision applies only to executory contracts, and not to sales completely ex- 

 ecuted by the full payment of purchase price and delivery of deed : State v. 

 Ort, 66 Wash. 130. 



SEC. 112. DEED UPON FULL PAYMENT. 



When the payments provided for in this act* for land, stone, 

 minerals or timber shall have been made in full, the Commissioner 

 of Public Lands shall procure the proper deed of conveyance to 

 be made to the purchaser, but in no case shall final deed of 

 conveyance be issued until after all of the purchaser's price and 

 accrued interest has been paid. (Laws '97, p. 241, sec. 17;
