CHAPTER III.
Summary of events and conditions in Pars during the year ended
March 31st, 1929.
Administratively the province of Ears has been drastically reduced in
size and importance by (i) the Kuhgilu and Behbehan being taken away
and placed under Sartip Earajullah Khan, the Governor of Khuzistan, (ii)
Dashti and Dashtistan being taken away in September on the appointment
of Muzaffar Khan A’lam as Governor of the Gulf Ports and confided to him
(this is however by no means the first period when this area has been subordi
nate to Bushire), (iii) the Central Government in March 1929 terminating the
hereditary governorship of the Qawam over all the districts of eastern Ears
from Easa to Darab, Lar, Sab’eh and the borders of the Bandar Abbas zone
and the small Gulf Ports north of Lingeh, as well as of the Khamseh nomad
tribes; and sending Sartip Abul Hasan Khan Zandieh from Tehran as
Military Governor of the whole with, as he states, independence of control
by the Governor-General of Ears. His headquarters are to be at Lar, and
the limits of his administration are exactly those held by Qawam.
Visits by Prince Firuz Mirza, Minister of Finance, early in April
1928 on his way to Bushire to enquire into the growth of smuggling, which
continues to defy all measures to check the circulation of contraband sugar
in the interior of Ears, and of Ja’far Quli Khan Asad (

But the most memorable occasion of this kind during the year was the
stay of His Majesty Riza Shah in Shiraz from November 28th to December
4th, on the way back from Khuzistan to Tehran. An escort of special
