CHAPTER III,
ADMINISTEAIION EEPORT OP THE KBEMANSHAH CONSULATE
EOR THE TEAR 1907-1908.
The name of the district is variously given as Kermanshah and Eerman- Geographical,
shahan, the latter being more correct whether for the town or for the
Goyernorship.
1 lie limits of the Kermanshah Consulate comprise the Governments of
Kermatishahan, Kurdistan with Gerus, Bamadan &nd Malayer. The latter will
be found marked on few maps, but its position will be sufficiently indicated by
the position of its capital Douletabad ; it also includes the minor Governorship
of Neh a vend and Toisirkan. In the Administration Report of the Vice-Consul
of Arabistan for 1905-1906 it will be noted that Huleilan is stated as being
m Luristan. This is a misconception which has arisen through that tract
being administered by the Wali of Pusht-i-Kuh, its present possessor by
purchase. ^ Huleilan is situated about 28 miles from the town of Kermanshahan,
within which district it lies, its boundary line with Luristan being shown by
the course of the river Karkhah, known there as the Saimarreh or Sadmarreh;
only a few acres with an Imamzadeh being on the further side of the river.
The revenues of this tract of land are paid by the Wali of Pusht-i-Kuh to the
Governor of Kermanshah. Another point in the Administration Report of the
same year needs revision : the northern limits of Kurdistan extend only as far
as a point beyond Serdasht, taking from thence a north-east by east direction
so as to include the town and Deputy-Governorship ofSakkiz. The country
beyond lies within the Deputy-Governorship of Mukri and Souj Bulak,
having connection with -Azarbaijan, Boundary lines between the Various
districts are non-existent, at any rate in this part of the world. I attach a
sketch map of the Kermanshah Consulate District which, I hope, is fairly
accurate. Except for the districts of Kermanshahan and Malayer the
boundaries must be taken as approximate. The course of the Hamadan-
Kazwin road will be reported later.
The previous year had ended in storm over the elections for the local Political -
assembly : the storm has continued throughout the year under report with the
result that Governors have changed with remarkable rapidity, the want of
settled power at Tehran being reflected in Kermanshahan,
A few days before the end of the previous year Amir Afkl'am, the
Governor, unable to cope with the situation, had been dismissed or had
resigned, and for fear of reprisals from the people had fled in the night two
days before the date of his appointed departure. 1 was not so impressed with
Amir Afkham as a Governor during the period of his residence as I have been
since he left; of all our experiments in the way of rulers he was the sole one
who showed any power of meeting the difficulties or understanding the trend
of affairs and had the Commissioners from Tehran been sent to decide on the
legality of the elections at the time he demanded much of what happened
subsequently might have been avoided. The new Governor Saif-ed-Douleh
arrived on the 2nd of April: disturbances ceased temporarily in order that it
