HISTORIC COYOTES RANCHO ONCE SPREAD TO THE SEA Open-handed hospitality and convivial gatherings were synonymous of the fabulously wealthy dons who owned all of Southern California in the halcyon days of the Spanish regime. Lavish prosperity smiled on the few; squalid poverty was the handmaiden of the many. Sprawlingly spacious and sparsely spaced, the old haciendas, haven of the traveler and nerve center of the vast estates, housed wealthy landowners, their families, their treasures and their friends. Their sturdy 'dobe walls served as protection to defenders against attack, or flung back echoes of merrymaking. Musket shot rattled against them in unhappy times; rhythm of the fandango and twang of muted guitars in hapier times. None knew these sounds better, perhaps, than did the old Hacienda del los Coyotes—Coyote Ranch house—which truly was master of all it surveyed. Gaze for Pride Why shouldn't it assume a haughty attitude? Didn't its owner possess the largest land grant in all Southern California, extending from the northern part of Orange county to the Pacific, and including what are now the sites of Long Beach and many other communities? Recalling the story of the old ranch house—even then long convivial gatherings in the old days of Spanish prosperity, now wears a forlorn and desolate aspect. Hangout For Tramps "Through the windows one may see the vacancy, the nakedness of the drear, deserted house. It has been tenantless for some time, during which period it has been a most convenient stopping place for tramps. These itinerant gentry have wrenched off the doors and shutters, and disposed of them for firewood, and the flooring has been torn up and used for the same purpose. The damaged roofing and the adobe walls alone remain. “If this old house could talk—if its sun-dried walls, now crumbling to dust, could speak in tones of human utterance, how eagerly they would show an indifference.” But this was many, many years ago, when thousands of fat cattle roamed these hills and the plain trembled beneath the hooves of numerous herds of mustangs. Glory of the Past “But all this has passed away forever. No more are heard the plaintive notes of the guitar and the low, sweet tones of serenade. No longer do swarthy vaqueros ride about with jingling spurs and coiled riatas. And never again will gaily-dressed caballeros and dark-eyed senoritas go through the graceful motions of the fan-dango. “Senoritas, Caballeros, vaqueros, all have long since disappeared and left this old building to the ravages of time.” And now the old building has followed them—followed into the limbo that swallows forgotten things. None remains who remember it or the aura of splendor in which it once bathed. Tread lightly, these hills and plains, stranger and native; your feet touch the scene of an age that lives only in recorded history. Compared to last winter, California navel orange production is expected to be 2,800 cars less, while Florida will show an indifference.” Roster of Officials Fare In History of By act of Legislature Anaheim was made that year Max Strobel-John Fischer presides council with E.

Didn't its owner possess the largest land grant in all Southern California, extending from the northern part of Orange county to the Pacific, and including what are now the sites of Long Beach and many other communities? Recalling the story of the old ranch house—even then long since disappeared, after a lengthy existence in disrepair, but a faded, sorry shell of its once-proud self—the Anaheim Gazette of February 2, 1928, said: "The Rancho los Coyotes was situated in the foothills of the Buena Park district, now occupied by the ranch of the Emery estate, seven miles north by west of this city. "In the 60's, Jotham Bixby purchased a portion of the ranch, calling it Los Cerritos, which now is occupied by the City of Long Beach, and other outlying communities. Where Placentia Is "To the east, of Los Coyotes lay the rancho, Peor es Nada, or Worse than Nothing. This ranch is now occupied by Placentia, one of the garden spots of the Southland. "Lying above the river, early settlers were unable to bring water onto the ranch, for irrigation, and it was not until the 70's, when the Cajon canal was built along the foothills, that water was finally brought upon the land. "Of historical interest connected with Los Coyotes rancho is the fact that General Kearney and his American command camped there one night in January, 1847, on their way north from San Diego, following the battle of San Pasqual, below Escondido, and a couple of days before the fight for the San Gabriel river which led to the taking of Los Angeles and the raising of the Stars and Stripes over the pueblo. Colonists Stopped There "The Coyote house lay upon the highway from Los Angeles to San Diego, and many gentry have wrenched off the doors and shutters, and disposed of them for firewood, and the flooring has been torn up and used for the same purpose. The damaged roofing and the adobe walls alone remain. "If this old house could talk—if its sun-dried walls, now crumbling to dust, could speak in tones of human utterance, how eagerly they would be listened to! What an interesting discourse upon the early history of this state they might deliver! What vivid pictures of social life in California before the American conquest they might unveil! "Many a deeply-buried secret they could reveal, and many an interesting but now forgotten incident of local history they could relate. Silence Only Tenant "But the old walls are silent now, and ever will remain so. Once they echoed to the sound of merriment, the light tread of the fandango and the twang of musical instruments. "Many a scene of galety has this old house witnessed, and many are the guests that have been sheltered by its hospitable roof. From 30 to 50 vaqueros were employed upon the ranch alone, and it was general headquarters for all the vaqueros from the surrounding country. "One part of the house was used as a store, while another part was reserved especially for..." The Coyote house lay upon the highway from Los Angeles to San Diego, and many travelers in the early days were hospitably entertained at the famous old hacienda. Among visitors there were many of the pioneers of Anaheim, who traveled on the highway in search of a location in this valley. Postmaster J. H. Whitaker located at Buena Park in 1884. He became acquainted with Coyote John, who lived in an old adobe house near the old hacienda. Coyote John was a Peruvian Indian, who ran away from home and shipped on a coastwise sailing vessel. He put in at Wilmington, deserted and made his way over the country to the Coyote ranch, where he was given employment as a vaquero. He was so efficient that he came, in time, to be major domo. He died about 1900, and was buried in the cemetery east of town." In its issue of January 9, 1878, fifty years earlier than that in which the above quotation appeared, the Gazette printed the following while the old house still stood: "The old Coyote ranch house, once the seat of open-handed hospitality and a noted place for The above photographs are the members of the John P. Zeyn family whose names are John P. Zeyn, his wife, Sophie Menke Zeyn and their children, Carl Herman, Oscar, Dora, Gustav (Dr. G. C. Zeyn) and Minnie. Mr. Zeyn came to America from Germany and landed in San Francisco in 1849. He came by ship around Cape Horn and the voyage took six months. He took an active part in all things relating to the welfare of Anaheim.

ANAHEIM GROUP Kiwanis Club Sets Pace as Civic Organization; First Service Group Here Having the distinction of being the first service group to organize in Anaheim,the Kiwanis club has been instrumental in bringing about many of the civic improvements and promoting the city activities,the latest of which is the "adoption" of the Orange County Youth Symphony orchestra,a group of young people who are acquiring the finesse and experience to better fit themselves for future musical education and work. Receiving their charter on April 8,1921.all preliminary work toward organization was completed by February of the same year.The original charter contained the names of fifty business and professional men of the city,some of whom are still members and active in its work.Members are proud of the past record of service they have given in support of the civic activities of Anaheim,and well they might be for in each of the major achievements resultant from working and planning the hand of Kiwanis can be seen.Should there be one or two objectives receiving major attention,they would be then as now. Interesting Items About Masquerade Balls of Other Days Successful revival this year of the celebrated Anaheim Hallowe'en Festival brings to mind of older residents some of the masquerade affairs of the past,在which they took part or of which they were told.

Anaheim Landing Shipping Center In Early Days Back in the years when Anaheim was in its infancy freight was shipped from San Francisco to what was Old Anaheim Landing and what is now known as Seal Beach. Steamers carrying this freight would anchor out at sea within a radius of one mile, the freight was transferred from the steamers to the wharf at Old Anaheim Landing in freighters that looked like large barges. Many sailors were employed on these barges. They were propelled from the steamer to the wharf by these sailors, a large rope being fastened to the ship and also to the pier on the wharf. Pulleys were fastened at each end, and the sailors drew in the slack, similar to drawing a bucket of water out of a well on a pulley. Freight delivered at the Old Anaheim Landing was transferred by 12-horse teams hitched to huge wagons, and carried to Anaheim and San Bernardino, the only two stops on the road. The Native Sons in San Francisco sent a banner, bunting and a black and gold wooden bear. The Japanese importing company sent what H. Cahen, a leading merchant of Anaheim, said looked to him as worth more than one hundred dollars. These decorations included a very large Japanese umbrella with favors and little figures to hang in the umbrella, a silver spider and web which was placed in one corner of the hall and costumes. Lowinsky's orchestra from Los Angeles furnished the music. Dr. J. H. Bullard as King Winter and Miss Minnie Zeyn as Snow Queen lead the grand march, and what a time the boys had in getting rid of the "snow" from the queen's costume when they danced with her. (Cotton does not melt.) The Anaheim Parlor was named, Felicidad Parlor No. 52, Native Daughters of the Golden West. This parlor helped in the restoration of the San Fernando mission and received letters from the late Charles F. Lummis thanking them for the gifts received. In the history of the south by John Steven McGroarty in speaking of the old missions, Dr. Charles F. Lummis says: "The vital fact is, that whoever owns these monuments, they are yours and mine, and every other one's who cares for beauty and romance. They are here, a graphic lesson on the blackboard for us, our children, and our children's children, in secula seculorum; an example in artistic and architectural beau- ANAHEIM GAZETTE — 75th ANNIVERSARY as Civic Service Group Here interesting Items about Masquerade Days of Other Days successful revival this year of celebrated Anaheim Hallowfest brings to mind of residents some of the masse affairs of the past, in they took part or of which were told. in the files of the Gazette we gleaned the following describing such entertainMasquerade Ball 1891 dances given in Reiser's house, corner Center and streets, and also at the campo hotel were known wide.
