Meshed, next objective of the Trans- Asia expedition after it left Teheran, is the northeasternmost of the half dozen or 50 important trade centers that over- land caravans have built up in Persia, says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic Society.” The soclety is co- operating in the expedition which set out from Beirut, Syria, several weeks ago by auto caravan on a journey across the world's greatest continent Meshed is the last town of importance in which the expedition will pause be- fore pushing over the Persia-Afghanis- tan boundary and on to Herat, in the Iatter kingdom. “While Meshed is known best Uumdg Persia because it is a trade center, continues the bulletin, “trade must share with religion and politics as the factors that make the place important in Central Asian affairs. As the holiest city in Persia it attracts hundreds of thousands of pilgrims annually. It owes its political significance to the fact that it dominates the important Persian Province of Knorasan and lies within 50 miles of Russian territory and within 100 miles of the Afghanistan border. Both Russian and British con- suls general have been maintained in the city for the past 40 years. Burial Place of Imam. “Meshed is holy because it is the burial placc of Imam Riza, ecighth of | the 12 Imams who are revered by the | Shiah sect, one of the two great divi-| sions of Mohammedanism. Riza is b>-| lieved by the Shiahs to have been poi- soned, and the town's name means ‘place of the martyrdom.’ A domed tomb was erected over the Imam’s body soon after his death in 819 AD. and around this monument grew a village and then a city. . “More interesting to the non-Moslem is the fact that under the same tomb was buried Haroun-al-Rashid, romantic ruler of ‘Arabian Nights' fame. Through the centuries the Moslems bave built over the joint tomb—like medieval ca- thedral builders—a magnificent shrine and mosque with a great gold-covered dome and minarets. This vast luzn:‘l is the object of pilgrimage, and is Know | far and near as ‘the glory of the S}:h)’: | world.’ Adjoining it i the Mosqu> of | Gauhar Shad with a beautiful dome of | e. bl""fi‘d‘é‘f}hed lies In a fertile, well irri-| gated upland valley with spurs fvf;? continuation of the Elburz Mountains rising on each side. In the fields r‘f‘ the valley are raised rice and other| i grains, cotton, tobacco, opium poppics | and a wealth of fruits. To the city i | market place come from som(‘v;h reater distances wool, hides, salt, iron {urquoises, lead and gold, as well as the | more typical Eastern ~products—silk. | saffron, pistachio nuts, gums and | asafetida. Many of these are passcd | on by caravan, but in the city are merous small industrial groups and in- dividual workmen who fashlon raw products into other goods. Out of Meshed by camel and mule back. by cart and automobile truck. flow cotton goods, silks, leather, carpets and other manufactures. Once Great Way Station. “Once the streams of goods into | out of Meshed were greater: the cit was an indispensable way station on the transasia trade route. But the ‘iron horse’ cut into the city’s trade as the | sailing ships around Africa sapped the commerce of Venice. After the building of the Transcaspian Railway by Rus- sia about, 40 years ago a great deal of | the trade that had passed through . Meshed went by way of Bokhara and Samarkand. Russia quickened this de- | ment by placing heavy duties on carried across the Persia-Russia | | vely g border. “Four main highways converge at Meshed. There is the road extending | westward to Teheran, one_southeast- | ward to Duzdap on the Baluchistan frontier, one eastward to Afghanistan and one northwestward to Askhabad, in Soviet territory, on the Transcaspian highways is not so great as during Meshed’s golden days, there is still much movement in and out of the city, | | and the numerous caravansaries arc patronized both by 1cligious pilgrims | and traveling merchants and caravan | helpers. In the city are gathered Per- sians, Turkomans, Turks, Kurzs, Balu- chis,’ Afghans, Arabs, | sprinkling of Europeans. “Mud walls with towers surround | | Meshed. The main entrance is through | the Bala Khiaban Gate along a fine avenue planted with plane and mul- | berry trees.
