  Californians and the Military: Major-General Harrison Gray Otis, U.S.V. Publisher of the Los Angeles Times
Otis received an appointment in 1878 by President Hayes as collector of the Port of San Diego, but his confirmation was opposed by Senator Sergent.
Otis claimed that he never objected to "lawful or legitimate organizations formed and maintained by laborers in any branch of industry," only to "gross and mischievous abuse in the management of the organizations by the leaders of them." In fact, he'd even been a member of the typesetters union -- briefly.
Otis died on July 30, 1917, at the age of 80.

 Times-Mirror group and LA Times: Overview
Otis gained a stake in the paper in 1882 and two years later gained control of the printing company and newspaper, forming the Times-Mirror Company.
Otis and Chandler successfully engaged in increasingly large-scale property speculation, for example making a fortune in 1905 when the Owens River was diverted to Los Angeles and in 1912 when they acquired the Tejon Ranch.
That was evident in Chandler's 1915 indictment by a Federal Grand Jury for alleged involvement in the Mexican Revolution, reflecting the family's substantial land holdings south of the border.

He quickly contacted his associates in Washington, the result was the THOMAS reversed course in sight of the coast and returned to Los Angeles almost causing a mutiny aboard.

 LA Observed: A Chandler's advice for LAT
He frets over the Times in a piece in today's Current, says Tribune's strategies have failed, and offers some sharp advice for the paper to have a future: consolidated bureaus, holding editors accountable for well-read stories, a new local approach to news and appointing executives who have a clue about Southern California.
First, let me clear up misconceptions about "the Chandler family." It is not a small group that meets at "the club" on Sundays, but rather 170 living descendants of Harry Chandler and his wife, Marian, who established the trusts that controlled The Times and its corporate cousins until the sale to Tribune in 2000.
In Chandler's view the Tribune is unlikely to sell the Times, but says we all should be worried about if the paper did go to a new profit-squeezing owner or an ego-driven billionaire (no names!) with an agenda.

He left Nauvoo, July 7, 1840, on a mission to La Porte, in the northern part of Indiana, and the fall of 1841 he went south into Marshall county and organized a branch of the Church; a goodly number were baptized.
One source, Charles Otis Gates (Gates Genealogy, 1898) states that Stephen was son of Thomas Gates of Norwich.
Sage further noted that Peter Gates married Marian Jocelyn in the parish of High Roding, Essex, 6 October 1605, and their son Jocelyn was baptised at the London church of St. Mary Woolchurch Haugh in February 1607.

 The New World | TIME
Before Harrison Otis could slow the tempo, it was too late: in 1888 the boom cracked open like an avalanche.
Once again, Harrison Otis' Times stepped up the booster campaign, this time in harmony with a newly founded Chamber of Commerce, which rounded up the best brains in town, dedicated them to making the city bigger.
With the eager Santa Fe railroad in his corner, Otis won his impassioned fight, watched with satisfaction when the dredges moved into San Pedro and turned a few acres of mud flats into one of the busiest harbors in the world.

 The Chandlers: End Times by Kevin West: W Feature Story on Style.com
Their family fortune—printed in news ink since forebear General Harrison Gray Otis bought a quarter share in the fledgling Times in 1882—may have been eroded by taxes and scattered among numerous heirs, but it still endows a generous income for the fourth generation of Chandler descendants, now mainly in their 50s and 60s.
In 2000, after a dissident contingent of the family sold the Times Mirror Company to the Chicago-based Tribune Company in a giddy $8.3 billion merger that favored the Chandlers with a tax-free stock-swap provision, the clan's wealth, including its stake in Tribune, was estimated at $3.8 billion by Forbes.
And despite their status as Los Angeles bluebloods, no Chandler has claimed the crown of society queen since the death of Otis's mother, the formidable Dorothy "Buff" Chandler, who built the city's performing arts center on the model of Lincoln Center.

 The Peninsula On-line: Qatar's leading English Daily
As a member of the Chandler family, which founded and controlled this institution for nearly 120 years, I have found these events to be particularly troubling.
My point is that a family of this size, largely personally disconnected from this newspaper, is unlikely to act in concert toward a solution for the Times.
Heck, my great-great-grandfather, Harrison Gray Otis, who bought the Times in 1882, was that type of guy, and it took half a century for my father, Otis Chandler, to undo that personal-pulpit legacy and make the Times the great newspaper it is. Maybe it is best to look beyond corporate or private equity owners.

 2020 Hindsight » Writing
The reknown Otis and Chandler of 1905 or so belonged to a tightly knit syndicate that bought up land in the San Fernando Valley in anticipation of the Owens Valley aquaduct that would bring water and make the land a rich agricultural region.
Today’s L.A. Times has a story of the dynasty of the Chandlers, harking back to early 1900s when the ancestors of recently deceased Otis Chandler (publisher of the LA Times) ascended in influence.
Some pieces of Chandler’s land empire, in particular a chunk in the northern San Fernando Valley, were purchased before the city announced in 1905 its plan to divert water from the Owens Valley and carry it via aqueduct to Los Angeles.
