1. ““Under that contract the Kiowa Lumber «Company was to have a first mortgage or was to be paid from the proceeds of a first mortgage to some building and loan company. There is nothing in the contract to show a waiver of the right to a lien, by the Kiowa Lumber Company as against a party to the same contract. “At the time of the completion of the building the rights of the parties, under the rule announced by this court in Otemulgee Plumbing Co. v. Comstock, 125 Okla. 245 , 257 P. 320 , were as follows: The plaintiff, the owner of the land, had made an executory contract for the sale and had consented in writing for Salyer and Jones, the executive vendees, to purchase material from the Kiowa Lumber Company for the erection of improvements thereon. He had waived his vendor’s lien in favor of the Kiowa Lumber Company. The Kiowa Lumber Company was entitled to a first lien.””
