The roun II or ambassador, presided over Premier Millerand. considered the (erman situation at a meeting this afternoon hich lasted two hour;. The present year threatens to lx the dryet season on record for Ir rigation, declares Percy A. Capper, state engineer, la an Interview yes terday. Mr. Cupper after Investiga tion and inquiry, has found Indica tions that water for Irrigation will be far below the normal supply. The engineer aks the cooperation of the water-urt la making in equitable distribution and to cot iown a tnnrb as possible the heavy loss that threatens the reclamation districts. In matters of dispute with watr masters relative to distribu tion the engineer urge that cases be referred to blra rather tha taken immediately lntv the ourla.
