Not until then did the wild regions explored by the intrepid Lewis and Clark come under the protection of the American flag. The Americanization of the Pacific coast began. it may be said. the year Mr. TONGUE was born. The immigrants from the States had then established themselves. and from that time American energy and resourcefulness began to make themselves felt. In four years after the boundary question was settled there were over 13.000 Americans in the Columbia River region. and at the time when Mr. TONGUE. a boy of 9 years of age. first saw Oregon it had a population of about 50.000.
