FRANKLIN, March 10. 1871.

En-. STANDARD: Since my last commu.
nication We have had but little change in
the weather here. We have had few
days of sunshine, causing the vegetation to
spring up little and to cause the farmers
to hope that sprin.time and harvest may
be looked for with small degree of GER
tainty. Farmers are progressing slowly
with their grain crops. 1t is to be hoped
that the end of March will bring better
weather and end the dcluge, for dcluse of
rain we'surely have had here on the Sound
and vicinity.
noticed to- day the arrival of Mr.. An
mis- and another carpenter to CONNIE nee
work on the storchou &c of Mr. G.. r. Vim
ing. They intend to complete it in about
two weeks. l believe the telegraph Office
will be moved into the new store as soon
as it is finished, SO l suppose the obliging
operator at " D'' will find some little bust
ness in the mercantile line as we'll as on
the telegraph line.
While the new store is being erected
Mr.. Vining is busily hauling off the far
mers' potatoes, which he has been buying
to fill a contract with Mr.. Lansdalc, at Ia
COMA, who intends shipping them to San
Francisco, making market at home and
feeding the hungry abroad.
The people in the vicinity of Franklin
have not got the railroad fever yet, as
fear they have in some other places on the
Sound. feel sorry for those living in the
towns on tide water. This railroad mania
is terrible when it gets into the head, as
Sluice Fork" remarks, cit sometimes
produces DEATH"

our temporal wants, we have not forgotten
to attend to those wants that will fit and

STEAMBOAT RAcE.-A passenger on
the Olympia, on her last trip from Port
Townsend to this place, gives us an account
of an interesting and exciting trial Of speed
between that steamer and the Goliah, from
Port Townsend to Port Ludlow. The con-
test was challenged by the latter. The
run was about fifteen miles, and the Olym-
pia came out between two and three miles
ahead. The time occupied in the run our
informant did not learn. The "iloating
palace" of Capt Finch is no more to be
excelled in speed than in beauty and cle-
gance of appointment.

RECONNOIsANCE OF THE WEST SIDE OF
HOOPS CANAL-On Sunday, the 10Th,
Mr.. Fl. G. Hale, one of the engineers of
the Northern Pacific Railroad, arrived in
town with his party from an examination
of the country from the head of Hoods
Canal through to Port Townsend via Port
Discovery. The whole distance was found
prefectly practicable for constructing a
railroad and at cost not to exceed the es-
Inmates at the points where heavy work
would be required. and far below the esti-
mates for nearly the whole distance. Mr..
Hale was about three weeks on the recon-
noisance, which was performed at the very
worst season of the year, when the earth
is saturated with water like sponge, and
everything is presenting its most unfavor-
able aspect. It was one continued shower
or raio during the whole time, and every
discomfort was experienced by the party F.;
and yet, the examinations not only proved
the fact Of the practibility and facility
with which railroad can reach Port Dis
covery and Port Townsend, but fully cor
roborated and verified a reconnaissance
made for the company two years since,
which was reported to the directors at that
time. The fact having been established
Of the eminent practibility of the route, it
now remains to be seen what action the
committee of the directors will take when
they come to Puget Sound next May to
locate the final terminus.-Port Townsend
