Washing ton, president . of Tuskegee Institute, urged- the people of his race to Invest some of their money in farm land In the northwest, that, they might have it to sell to the Europeans who he said would come, willing to buy, after the Panama canal Is opened. ', Dr. Washington was Introduced by Colonel E. Hofer of . Balem. Approxi mately 6000 people heard the address, which was in the nature of an appeal to the negroes in Portland. Dr. Wash ington advised the people of his race to save some of their money for a "rainy day," which he said is sure to come. Tou negroes of Portland are only few In number,"' Dr. Washington said, "but remember that you represent the millions' of your follows in the. south. They will be . Judged largely by your actions. If you lead good, conscientious, honest, upright lives, obey the laws of God and man and become good oltisens, your , lives will reflect to good advan tage on the lives of the vastly greater number of negroes In the south. If, on the other hand, you are not gooo, law-abiding. God-fearing citizens, the general effect will be just the opposite and you will put all the negroes lnthc country in a oaa iigni. - Dr. Washington spoks very interest ingly for an hour this morning at Reed college, his address being given in place of the regular morning chapel . service. Tonight at I o'clock the noted edu cator will talk particularly to the publlo school teachers of the city at the new lilnooln high school. . 0RCHARDISTS WELCOME ' COLD AT HOOD RIVER ;.::(, . 11 , x' , t'Speciil to The Jooraal) .
