delivered the opinion of the court.
1. The adverse party waives his right to except to the sureties in the undertaking unless he excepts within five days after the service of the undertaking; and upon the expiration of the time allowed to except to the sureties in the undertaking the appeal shall be deemed perfected: Section 550, L. O. L., as amended by Chapter 319 of the Laws of 1913. The appeal was perfected five days after June 29, 1914.
2. Within thirty days after the appeal is perfected the appellant must file the transcript with the clerk of this court; “but the trial court or the judge thereof, or the Supreme Court or a justice thereof, may, upon such terms as may be just, by order enlarge the time for filing the same; but such order shall be made within *423the time allowed to file transcript”; and “if the transcript or abstract is not filed with the clerk of the appellate conrt within the time provided, the appeal shall be deemed abandoned, and the effect thereof terminated” : Section 554, L. O. L., as amended by Chapter 320 of the Laws of 1913.
The bill of exceptions was mentioned in the orders of June 29th, July 17th, and Angnst 4th, but was not included in the order of September 9th. The transcript was included in the orders dated July 17th, Angnst 20th, and September 9th, bnt was not included in the order of August 4th. The 30-day period allowed for filing the transcript after the appeal became perfected expired prior to August 20th. No order of the conrt was made extending the time for filing the transcript to Angnst 20th, and consequently the order of Angnst 20th was ineffective because not “made within the time allowed to file transcript.” The filing of the transcript is jurisdictional, and by the express mandate of the statute the appeal shall be deemed abandoned unless the transcript is filed within the time provided. This conrt has no authority to exercise any discretion, bnt the statute fixes an iron-clad rule which must be observed in order to give this conrt jurisdiction: Schmidt v. Beatie, 67 Or. 248 (135 Pac. 875).
The motion to reinstate the appeal is denied, and the order of dismissal is adhered to.

Motion to Retax Costs.
(151 Pac. 655.)
Department 1. Statement by Mr. Justice Harris.
This is a motion to retax costs.
An order dismissing the appeal was made on December 22,1914, and on June 29,1915, a motion to reinstate the appeal was denied: Gross v. Gage, ante, p. 421 (149 Pac. 939). Por the purpose of accommodating the attorneys who appeared for the litigants, and for the sake of expediency, the motion to reinstate the appeal and the merits of the cause were presented at the same hearing. Briefs' discussing the merits of the issues arising from the pleadings were filed by the parties.
After the final order made June 29, 1915, the respondent filed his cost bill, and now complains because the clerk of this court disallowed an item of $47 claimed as the expense of printing the brief filed by plaintiff.
Motion Denied.
Mr. G. T. Treadgold, for the motion.
Mr. C. R. Wade, contra.
Mr. Justice Harrisdelivered the opinion of the court.
3. This court was without jurisdiction to hear the appeal because the transcript was not filed within the time commanded by statute. The printed brief mentioned in the cost bill related only to the merits of the litigation, and did not refer to the motion to reinstate the appeal. It was necessary to dispose of the motion to reinstate the appeal before the cause could be con*425sidered on the merits; bnt, because of the fact that it would be convenient for the attorneys and would accommodate all the interested parties, both the motion and the merits of the litigation were heard at the same time. By contesting the motion to reinstate the appeal, the respondent in effect objected to a consideration of the merits of the cause; and now he demands to be paid for a printed brief which he successfully contended the court had no right to consider, and which the court in fact did not examine because of a want of jurisdiction. In Oregon Elec. Ry. Co. v. Terwilliger L. Co., 51 Or. 107, 115, (93 Pac. 930), Mr. Justice Moore, speaking for the court, says:
“No party respondent should be permitted to recover any item of disbursement incurred after the trial of the cause in the lower court, when his motion to dismiss an appeal for want of jurisdiction is sustained. ’ ’
The respondent was not legally entitled to any part of the amount claimed, and for that reason the clerk properly disallowed the item, even though no objection was made by the appellant: Sommer v. Compton, 53 Or. 341 (100 Pac. 289).
The motion to retax the costs is denied.
Motion Denied.
Mr. Chief Justice Moore, Mr. Justice McBride and Mr. Justice Burnett concur.
