It requires the President of the United States to occupy that portion of our territory on the waters of the Columbia river, and to cause the Indian title to be extinguished to a district of the country not exceeding square miles Oii tiie oonlers of said river, in the region of tide water ; and declares that acres of tan I shall be allowed to each actual Settler being the head of a family, and acres to each unmarried man between 18 and 45 years of age, who shall establish himself there and pursue any mechanic art or cultivate ground, within years after the Indian title is extinguished.
