The Situation in Ventura

While it is true we have resourceful
county, the best. unqueetionably, in the
state; that several enterprises in embryo
and otherwise, are affording employ
ment to number of men; that a half
dozen or more residences are in course
of construction, and that there has been
a reasonably fair market for citrus fruit,
yet we venture to aseert the oldest
business man in the community will un-
hesitatingly admit that he has never
struck duller time than the present
since he has been resident of the coun-
ty. But as hope is never extinct in the
human breast, we are all looking for
ward with more or lees misgiving to
better day. and it cannot come any too
soon. Ventura is Certainly in no worse
shape, in a business sense. than its
neighbors, and there is no doubt that it
is even better than some. Still the pres
ent situation offers no inducement to
people who are seeking employment to
come here to find it; and the Venturian,
in its gauzy and thinly disguised attempt
to do little premature politics by tin
horn serenade to a condition that doee
not practically exist, may only add to the
embarrassment by causing needy peo-
pie to come here to hunt for that which
they cannot readily find.-Ventura
