occurred late in the year on the Dizful-Shushtar road when a band of Qalawands
from the hostile section of this tribe under Kadkhuda Fazil crossed the Diz
during the low water period and carried oif two small caravans in the vicinity
of Sarbishah. Pressure is being brought to bear on this cheif through Sadiq
Khan when it is hoped to recover the stolen property.

many new tracts of land have been sown. A dam has been built at Ajanb by
Sheikh Khalaf the Sheikh- of Mohammerah's representative m the Mianao,
and his Dizful Agent Qutb-us-Sadat which will greatly increase irrigation m
