The contention of the defendant that, pursuant to the statute (chap. 151, Laws 1917), the cancellation pursuant to the notice became effective February 28, 1921, cannot be sustained. The notice of cancellation specifies the time of cancellation. The statute requires the notice to state such time of cancellation. § 8120, C. L. 1913. Under the statute it may not be less than six months. It may be more, if the notice so prescribes. § 8120, C. L. 1913. See Sylvester v. Holasek, 83 Minn. 362, 86 N. W. 336. Accordingly this injunctional order was served anterior to time of cancellation specified in the notice. It is therefore ordered that the order be reversed, and the cause remanded for further proceedings, with costs to the appellant.

Christianson, J. (concurring specially). In Tracy v. Scott, 13 N. D. 577, 101 N. W. 905, this court ruled that an order under § 5845, Rev. Codes 1899, enjoining a foreclosure by advertisement, and directing all further proceedings for the foreclosure to be had in the district court, was not appealable. Following that decision, the Legislature amended the statute relating to appeals so as to make such orders appealable. See chap. 79, Laws 1907; § 7841, C. L. 1913. Under our laws a contract for the future conveyance of real property may be foreclosed by the service of notice upon the “vendee, purchaser, or his assigns.” See §§ 8119-8122, C. L. 1913; chap. 180, Laws 1915; chap. 151, Laws 1917. In 1917 the Legislature provided that any such foreclosure of land contracts may be enjoined upon proper application by the “vendee or purchaser or his assigns,” and that when it is so enjoined the order shall direct that all further proceedings for cancellation of the contract be had in the district court properly having jurisdiction of the subject-matter. Chap. 151, Laws 1917. This statute is almost an exact duplicate of the statute relative to the enjoining of a foreclosure of a mortgage by advertisement.
It is manifest, therefore, that the Legislature intended to afford to the proper parties interested in a statutory proceeding for the foreclosure of a land contract precisely the same right to enjoin such proceeding as was afforded to similar parties to enjoin the foreclosure of a mortgage by advertisement. Of course, when the Legislature enacted chap. 151, Laws
