foreign interests are scantily represented in the province. The following
Foreign interests. American-Armenian carpet export firms,
enjoying British protection, are represen
ted here :—
Messrs A. E. Kazan, New York, represented by Meshedi Hussain
Aghazada.
Messrs. H. S. Tavshanjian & Co., New York, represented by Ch.
Jafferson.
Messrs. V. H. Jinishian, New York, represented by Mirza Missirian.
Messrs. Costikyan, New York, represented by A. Mugerditchian.
Business is at a low ebb, but the export of carpets and rugs has not by
any means ceased.
Eussian interests consist solely of the private affairs of a few importunate
ex -agents at Bam, Rat'sinjan, Sirjan, etc., together with one at Yezd who
indulges in troublesome and complicated litigation in the Kerman province.
A considerable amount of work, from which locally at any rate nothing is
rained, devolves upon His Majesty's Consulate from its obligation to look
after these "interests" of its erstwhile Ally.
In October the Muharram traffic from the infected districts of Khorasan
and Kain resulted in an outbreak of
Chol0ra " cholera at Rawar. The Persian quarantine
station at Darband having evidently been useless, the South Persia Rifles
Medical authorities arranged with the Local Government for the establishment
at Rawar of a better-managed quarantine station, the tents, incinerators and
other apparatus for which were supplied by the South Persia Rifles.
Owing, however, to the venality of the officer in charge and the failure of
the local authorities to provide supplies for the people detained, the epidemic
spread and the whole of Kuhbanan and Zarand were affected. Cases averaged
20-25 and deaths 10-12 daily. This state of things was of course carefully
concealed from the Kerman medical authorities, but as soon as it leaked out
Captain J. B. Hance, I.M.S., Senior Medical Officer, took decisive measures to
save the city from an epidemic. Anew quarantine station, managed entirely
by the South Persia Rifles, was opened at Sariasiab, 20 miles north of Kerman,
early in December, and the tents, etc., of the Rawar camp were removed there.
With the help of the South Persia Rifles Cavalry and some Local Government
sowars, together with " A" Section, Supply and Transport, all travellers from
the north were accommodated and provided for in the camp for 10 days before
being allowed to proceed to Kerman. All side roads between infected areas
and Kerman were blocked, as well as the Khabis road which connects with one
of the roads across the Lut to Birjand and Kain.
Thanks entirely to these measures, Kerman escaped what would undoubt"
edly have been a serious epidemic.
Following on a phenomenally mild winter the hot weather set in early
but was not marked by any unusally high
Meteorological. temperatures. The year was practically
rainless until Christmas, when heavy falls of rain and snow commenced and
have continued at intervals since.
