man lying in the brush yesterday noon.

eide. From letters on his body it is

Will Result in Much Good.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S.-The delay in
the ceremonial opening of the Midwinter
Fair is going to result in many exhibits
being more complete and more perfect
than they could have been if the general
opening had taken place on January lst.
Some counties have felt that their time
was too short for carrying out every plan
they had in view, therefore they are now
taking advantage of the little leeway
given them to add attractions which they
could not otherwise have had.
The Southern California building and
that of the northern counties have needed
all the time at their disposal, but both
these will be perfectly complete for the
opening of the citrus fairs on the dates
expected. The last forty eight hours has
made great change in the appearance of
the interior of the manufacturers build
ing, and by the end of the week the
empty appearance in this great building
will be entirely lost sight of.
