Oregon Statutes - Chapter 42 - Execution, Formalities and Interpretation of Writings - Section 42.240 - Intention of the parties; general and particular provisions and intents.

In the construction of an instrument the intention of the parties is to be pursued if possible; and when a general and particular provision are inconsistent, the latter is paramount to the former. So a particular intent shall control a general one that is inconsistent with it.
