FROM WEDNESDAY'S DAIL Y HOME OF ORPHANS PROPERTY MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO SALEM HOSPITAL. Deal Ma j Be Consummated in a Few Days -An Ideal Asylum for j ' the Afflicted. ' : For several days past there ha3 bn a rumor current to the effect that the board of managers of the Orphtns'j Home, of this city, was about to trans-: 1 C I LUC i v j'1; i j v. v. - ij u.iii hi . board of control of the j?alem hospital. Upon irvestigaion, the rumor was found to be correctly founded and, al though tl3 transfer has not yet beeni made, the del will probably be cou su:nmated wJ.hln a few dxiys. The managemfnt of tnct Home" re cently ct-ncluo"ee3 to abandon the or phanage, the legislature having failed to make an appropriation for Its sup port. The ladies have since succeeded In f.ndlne homes for all of -heir charsrss will alfo be rrovided. In the dispesi lion of the pretyx.rty the ladies d-cide.l to offer it to lhe board of control of the Salem hospital as a future home for that , Institution, but it. Is -under-etcod that in entering the property to the hofpital board, ,the ladies make certacr. reservations, theexact charac ter of which it not known. Should the trar.fer, of the proi erty be accomj lished, the deserted "Home' to very pleasantly situated in the out skirts of the city, would prove a spleiv el'd locatlen for the hospital, which Isj numbeied among the city a most sub itantial find henePcial irtditutlons. It in presumed that,, should the peg tl i ttons penning between the two beards eventuate, thai the property now w-cu-plel by the hospital will re dispose 1 of and the proceeds realized therefrom be expanded in the iemoo"lnff of the orphan's home building ai,d the beau tifying of the .surrounding grounds, although this prediction avails vcrifl cat'on by subsequent developments.

G0V.V GEER TALKS PAYS BIS BXSPf CTS TO CERTAIN FACLT-FI5DERS. Is Surprised at Criticism on the Ac tion of the Tolnnteers Praise for the Troops. 5 (From Daily. July lth.) Gor. T. T. Geer yesterday gave out fe following statement, whh h Is f-lf-explanatory: ' "On my return home I am surprised beyond expression at the nature of tome of the criticisms of the Oregon regiment, by torn'; of our people. Such criticisms, which n seme esses ac tually impugn the loyalty of the regi ment to the Hate, and attack the In tegrity of the iiien and their oificers, are a positive disgrace to, the Individ uals indulging them and It is hoped that the time will cime when they will voluntarily ackr.owdge their re gret for so doing. 1 Was Informed yes terday, by meil and in conversation, that the orinioii was expressed quite freely in Portlan-1 !by tome prominent men that a incney consideration bad ocen used by a San Frnncl-o pull' to have the musterirg out changed from the rancouyer barracks to Fan Fran c'sco. Euch impuOalon as this thcull forever condemn every man enraged ir. such dlj-reputible work. I was in San Francisco moie than twenty-four hours before the -transports j arrived, end during that time met hundreds of the promiDMt men of the cify .and not ne of Jhemj made a ingl sugges tion as to theirj being muttered owt in that city. They sut iosed. a I dfl. that the matter had been definitely settled In favor of Vancouver b.tr rackH, but eyeiy body was urgent that he toys be allowed to land loni; crouch to hav a ,parade and 1 e given public welcome for the valiant work they had dene. Fince Ctncral hait;r had left this rattier to n e, I ar-sur. d the people that the troops would be allowed to land and receive a welcome from the people of the city. I pn meleting tho transports nobody was moire surprised j than the Califofniana to hear the universal demands of the boys to be mustered out in tan Fran c'sco. When they lvft the Philippines they supposed they wttld Le mustered out in San Francis o, land did not know of the change until they arrived In port. Wher oftr tugs came along side the ehout yas universal in favor .f Fan Francisco, and if any money had ben ugtd to influence them, a? has been charged by soine ciii?e;,s of this Ftate, hoerjhg dangerously . near the verge of disloy ilty, it muot have beert .in the han!s of Joe Levison and Henry Heed, the Oregonlan corre Fl endents, v ho had ben wi'h ih--n! for about half p.n hour 1 t-foie our tii's arilved and found the entire regiment fbcuting for San Franc.ico. To hae Ken eveiy man In the r urln.ent In tl.e :hort pace of : thirty minutes and bought him oft speaks vi-Iun-.es for the rapid work Slid all round efficiency of the two newspaper m-n. It is shame ful enough f'-r able-bodied men win remained nt hom- duin! the Phi ip p!ne war and enjoyed the comforts of 'dfe to stand on the street coiners and charge dishonesty to the regiment atijd itsi oiflcers beaue they did not feel able tc pay Zl rp;ec;e of their meageir earr-?iigs tc allow the aforesaid citizen thi privilege to tliout for three bo uij-s ii.la parade, tut when a newspaper gives the foul charge the benefit jf itsi circulation with an implied ar- prval, words of condemnation cannit be I too strongly used Tt wes ouite natural that 'he pe pie of the state ehould feel disappoint ed j and I fully shared the feeling, bit when I boarded the Newport and h:l talked with the boys I could fuly understand thert feeling and motlv. In substance, they sail: 'We nfe broke; we have been fighting the bat tles of our country for less compensa tion Ahan the average farm band re ceives, and we need every cent we can get. To be mustered out In San Fraii c'fco means a net saving to us of $JS apiece, or an amcunt nearly equal o our pay fcr two nonths f.ghtlns Fili pinos in the swamps of Luzon, and We do not feel like participating Ir. a pi rade lasting, an hour or two, for whicjh we will have to pay 125 apiece.' "I bear we have patriot s at' home whe- oraciilavlyj declare that the boys will low? four times the ?:-5 in the changed nature of public opinion, which will nw tell them to rustle. for themselves, etci I heard one nian say eo yesterday. The only suitanle com mert to l-e made on such a tentlment as this Is that Its nuthots have a very low an! discrejrttble estimate of the Mcrtnres n-ade by , the Second Cregon legimcnt. In the Judgment of such a critic their wrrk t"l patriotic and their tcMons fceroie In rror-ortlon to their disposition to give 1dm an oppor tunity to thout in a r-rM fyr ftn hour or two and contribute K apiece to pay for it. I rcioice to know that tb4e sen timent, though shared by a few prominent men wbce names ; have been given me, la very, very limited, end that the f-rwbelming expression of those with:1 whom I nave talk In Balera la that the boys, and they alone, had ft light to be heard In the matter. This is patrictie. Ihey did the fighting; tliey made the sacrifices, they rtsked their lives and rr-ade the event, and It is not the province of any civilian who remained under coyer at home tc aprear r.oislly on the, scene after the sacrifice has been mafe ind dec and that trda or that be done In order to contribute to his patriotic de sire to hurrah: for a couple of hours. -It is also urged by those voluble critl that the boys spend the money thus saved and will be no better off than before. Bit swpp'S they do? Haven't tby earned the right to spend $25 by ,'Vay of recreaticn af i fnnriMii months cf S'Jch hanlshlp and deprivations as they have en dured?

The oppoitunity to g'ye them this wrleome vaa urgently eeked ror when there was no 5ciect of the bovs belnp abl o spend a ce.t there, wholly free from and sordid motive whatever, and in honoring our beys they honored lis and desired to dc so.
