“{‘ Though a general statute will not impliedly repeal a special law previously enacted (State v. Sturgess, 10 Or. 58, 62 ), the rule is well settled that, if the special statute is the later enactment, it necessarily operates to circumscribe the effect of the prior general act from which it differs: 26 Am. & Eng. Ency. Law (2 ed.), 743; Lewis’ Sutherland Statutory Construction (2 ed.), § 275.””
