some parts it appears impossible to determine whether the representative
of the central government, or of the lessee of the revenue, or of the petty-
local chieftain actually predominates.
Of the climate between Jehrum Niriz Stotherd says :—
“ The climate appears healthy, but hotter during the summer months
than might be expected at an elevation of 5,000 feet. This is due doubtless
to the absence of trees and vegetation and the paucity of water. The ther
mometer in June was invariably over 90° in the shade during the day ; the
nights, though, were pleasantly cool. Fasa marks the limit of the tem
perate winter zone ; north of this there are no date palms or vegetation
that can survive a cold winter.”
One of the most recent Governors was Shu’a-us-Saltaneh, a younger
son of the Shah Muzuffar-ud-Din, who was given appointment in 1901.
His harsh government and his propensity for cornering grain resulted in
serious riots. He was re-appointed in 1904, but his rapacity and bad
government led to further serious disturbances and his removal after a
second period of office which lasted 18 months. The present Governor is
Zafar-us-Saltaneh (1910).
Communications .—The only communications are caravan roads. The
main routes of Fars centre at Bushire and Shiraz, as also does the telegraphic
communication ; and full information on these points will be found in the
articles on those towns in this Gazetteer. None of the rivers of Fars are
navigable.
