"tl MAIL TRIBUNE, Medfori, Oregon, Wednesday, May 28, 1958 ' Rain, Victory Enable bounty Nine to Edge Ahead in PCL BY GENE BRYANT United Press International Vancouver edged ahead of Phoenix in the Pacific Coast Seague standings Tuesday iight, defeating Sacramento, -6, in 10 innings, while the Ciants took a breather because f rain at Portland. The win gave the Mounties .005 percentage margin over the Arizona club although loth teams ere tied in the games-behind column. In other games, Spokane shaded Salt Lake City, 9-8, and San Diego squeezed by Seattle, 5-4, in an 11-inning contest. The Bees remained in third place, four games behind the front-runners, while San Diego held onto the fourth spot, 41 2 games off the pace. Vancouver pushed across six runs in the ninth frame at Sacramento to send the game into extra innings, then won it with a three-run splurge Is That So? By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Cairo, June 2 Via TWA I didn't get to the Pyramids today for two reasons the nilometer and an ichneumon. The nilometer at Cairo is a column standing in a well on the island of Roda, near where Moses was supposedly found in the bulrushes. The well is connected with the river whose rise and fall is measured on the column. By means of readings on the nilometers along the riv er the Egyptians were able to figure out what the prob able annual flood would be. In fact, they judged their an nual taxes by it es well as ir rigation. Since weather reports along the Nile's 4,000-mile length are rather scanty, the nilo meters are still consulted re garding the annual floods that come in the summer months and reach their peak in Sep tember. At this time of year the water has a somewhat green ish cast due to algae from low water. That color disappears as the algae are destroyed in the floods. A boy fishing near the ancient monument had his pet ichneumon with him. The an imal, an Egyptian mongoose that is bigger than the Indian type, is popularly called "Pharoah's rat." I watched him smelling among the stones, hunting a rat or mouse -hich, with birds and snakes, stand next to eggs among his favorite foods. SMITH-DYNGE Lumber Co. gthj Fir St. From the silent, efficient way in which he worked it was obvious why the ancient Egyptians memoralized him in stone as a most capable mou ser. ' According to some, the ich neumon is responsible for the almost total absence of croco diles from the Nile of Lower Egypt. He is said to have eaten their eggs and thus killed off the crocs. But Nile crocodile eggs have very hard shells. Fur thermore, they are buried un der about two feet of sand. And since the mother croco dile spends the greater part of the 12-week-hatching pe riod lying over them, it is dif ficult to see how even the boldest ichneumon could get to them. Almost certainly the real reason for the crocodile's re treat up the Nile is a combi nation of the high-powered rifle and the country's ex ploding population. While Egypt proper has nearly 400,- 000 square miles of territory, its 22,000,000 people are pack ed into the 13,500 square miles along the river.
