thar nothing he done volsie the stpuiatons Of the
yenton 1927 which st in force. The faith q!
tics In their letter and spirit hos ever BEEN and trust
will be, scruPuOusy observed by the United States
Under that convention, years notice IS required to be
given by either party the Other, before The joint
pancy shall terminate and before either can nghiu.y as
exclusive jurisdiction over any portion Of
the territory. This notice would IN my Judgment be
proper 10 PoNIrloh Oc
by law for giving accordingly, and terminating in this
manner the convention Of the sixth Of August, 1897.
IL will become proper for Congress to determine hat e
gslaon they IN the time, adopt without violating
This convention. Beyond all question the protection Of
laws and our Jurisdicon civil and criminal ought 10
be Immediately extended over our citizens in Oregon
