POLITICAL
RESIDENCY
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
FOR 1910. 53
charges made against Ahmed Khan (British Indian subject) of inciting
Bakhtiaris at the Oil Field to shoot Mr. Williams, then Assistant Fields
Manager, and Dr. Turnbull. The finding of the enquiry was " not guilty."
The terms of the guarding Agreement, concluded in 1909, by the Anglo-
Persian Oil Company's own representative, have proved unsatisfactory, of
which fact the Managing Agents informed His Majesty's Consul, towards th^
end of the year under report, and intimated that they wished a revision of the'
terms of the said Agreement.
The attitude of the Bakhtiari Khans as a whole remains friendly towards
the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, but not so that of the Lurs in the vicinity of
the Oil Company's works in the Bakhtiari country. The land belonging to
these Lurs is occupied by the Company's works, but the owners receive little
or no redress for their land so rendered useless to them, and are not likely to
either, even when the land compensation is paid to the Bakhtiari Khans;
with the only natural result that they are inimical towards the Company,
which to the Lur is the visible means of his trouble. The main fault then
will of course lie at the door of the Bakhtiari Khans should they not compen
sate their ryots, "but a certain amount, in His Majesty's Consul's opinion,
lies at the Company's door, or rather at the door of the Company's Agents on
the spot. For this reason, in cases where standing crops have been damaged,
arbitrary and roughshod methods have been put in force with the owners with
regard to compensation for same, leaving them discontented and with a sense
of injustice and wrong done to them, when, with the exercise of a little tact
and diplomacy, no more need have been paid in compensation and the owner
sent away satisfied.
A further point which has a bearing on the Lurs' attitude towards the
Anglo-Persian Oil Company, is that they (tlfe Lurs), subsequent on the
Nationalist movement in Persia, are out of hand, and have not their former
fear of their Chiefs, and their power to control them.

Foreign Interests and Activities. and the Russian Consular

have been most friendly.
Up to the close of the year no further local developments had taken place
with regard to the Dutch option for irrigation works from the Karun.
Commercial—The firm of ter Meulen, Gratama and Company, (Holland-
Persia Trading Company) are still the only local rivals of Messrs. Lyncn
Brothers. They have undertaken a small amount of the carrying trade be-
tween Ahwaz and Ispahan, chiefly that of tobacco for the
Company (downward loads), but it is an open secret that they find it dithcult
to make both ends meet, last year's business being scarcely be ere y
