IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 88 YEARS AGO January 6, 1872 A native Californian contributes the following from which it would appear that decadal floods have occurred during the last half century, at least, the flood of the present winter following in the regular order: "A flood occurred in the year 1822, when the water covered the lowlands entirely, and rose to a greater height than ever before known. Had the country been settled as now the disaster would have been great. The next memorable flood occurred in 1832, the water not reaching the extreme height of 10 years before. In 1842 there was another flood, not unlike that of 1832. The pioneer settlers of California remember the flood of 1852 and it is not necessary to dwell upon the particulars. The last great flood occurred in the winter of 1862. Sacramento was submerged; dams, mills and manufactories were carried away on the streams. Roads were destroyed, bridges disappeared and the destruction of property was very great. The winter of 1872 is supposed to complete the cycle again, promising that a flood will occur every 10 years. We copy the following from a summary of notable events of 1871 in Anaheim: Jan. 1—Everybody turned over a new leaf, swore off drinking for six months. (N.B.—They all got drunk within a week.) Feb. 4—Stage line to Wilmington established by Mitchell and Gibson. Feb. 10—Cloudburst in foothills northeast of city. Stream of water 160 yards wide and four feet deep went "marching on" over the McFadden ranch. Fred Rupp killed by Indians west of city. Two inches of rain fell on the 9th, 10th and 11th. April 19—Porter and McFadden struck artesian water near Santa Ana. April 22—Fight between Geo. W. Barter and Jimo Lynch. Barter too heavy for the land agent. Lynch goes to grass at first round. June 28—Planters hotel burned. Aug. 7—First ringing of fire alarm bell. Sept. 6—General election, 238 votes cast. Oct. 16—Anaheim Gazette sold to Chas. A. Gardiner. Nov. 18—Railroad convention held subsidy resolutions passed by bogus delegates. Nov. 25—County division meeting at Gallitin. Dec. 9—New Planters hotel opened to the public. Dec. 20—County division meeting held at Enterprise hall. During the year, 11 births, four marriages and six deaths were recorded.

WHAT'S DOING H. I. Perry, your Telephone Manager in Anaheim Meet Lillian Buell, a service representative in one of our telephone business offices. Like service reps everywhere, she answers questions or requests when people call in about their service. We wanted you to meet her because she's typical of the people we like to have working for you—bright, personable, and likes to help others. Naturally, she got plenty of special training before she took over her service desk. That's the way we like to do it... help people like Lillian build careers for themselves while they do a good job for you. You know that wire that runs from your phone to the pole outside? It's called a drop wire. With lots of new phones going in, you've probably seen phone men hooking up these wires. Most always, they have a few small pieces left over. Do they throw these pieces away? Not at all! These "leftovers" are put together into lengths of wire we can Mass will be celebrated next Sunday morning at 10 o'clock at the Catholic church by Rev. Philip Farley.

With lots of new phones going in, you've probably seen phone men hooking up these wires. Most always, they have a few small pieces left over. Do they throw these pieces away? Not at all! These "leftovers" are put together into lengths of wire we can use somewhere else. We do it by melting the leftovers down, along with other scrap metal and cable pieces. And you'd be surprised . . . just from this reclaimed metal alone we get hundreds of miles of new wire every year. So you see, just like a budget-minded housewife we make good use of our scraps!
