" 34 After the War of 1812 and the sale of the Astoria property to an English company thereafter incorporated with the Hudson's Bay Com- pany, a treaty was made between England and the United States in 1818 for the temporary occupancy of the territory which was essentially anomalous, and would have been impossible except under the peculiar conditions prevailing in the country. It was virtually an agreement of joint occupancy, without prejudice to the conflicting claims of the two contracting po...wers, as to the boundary of their respective rights. Thus in this treaty it was provided, among other things, that the entire country claimed by either party, and the navigation of all rivers, should be free and open for ten years to the vessels, citizens and subjects of the two powers, and that the agreement should not be considered to the prejudice of any claim of either to any part of the country. This condition of joint occupancy was secured for ten years, and was after- wards extended indefinitely until either of the two powers should give notice to the other of a desire to terminate it.
