 "Who's Who in the Pacific Southwest" 
 
 PREFACE 
 
 This work is submitted to the i^"bl''^ with contidence in its usefiihiess 
 and value, and without a misgiving as to its hearty reception. Preparing 
 and editing the volume have required several months of painstaking labor 
 by a large force of experts, and the publishers do not hesitate to say that 
 they are gratified with the result, since this publication stands without any 
 counterpart in West Coast literature. 
 
 The book is modeled after the standard of all works of this character, 
 "WHO'S WHO," published in England. All eulogistic matter has been 
 omitted; only a bare statement of facts has been made, in each case, in con- 
 formity with "WHO'S WHO" style. No other style is permissible in a work 
 in which all sketches are prepared from data furnished by the subjects them- 
 selves. In conforming strictly to this idea the publishers feel that they have 
 achieved a work of character and dignity. 
 
 Every art, profession and industry is represented in the brief life- 
 sketches of their exponents; and in these pages will be found more complete 
 data respecting a greater number of residents of the Pacific Southwest than 
 ever was compiled before. 
 
 The purpose has been to gather these little life histories of people who 
 have contributed to the making of the great Pacific Southwest into a volume 
 accessible to all. It contains approximately 4,000 sketches of representative 
 people in every reputable walk of life, and will be of recognized value to 
 every one who keeps abreast of the times and is interested in what those 
 with whom he deals have done and are doing. 
 
 This work is entirely different from the ordinary biographical publica- 
 tion, inasmuch as no space has been sold. All sketches are unpaid for and 
 printed with the sole object of giving the public a representative work, in 
 which the sale of space was not the object, on the same plan as encyclopedias 
 and other standard works of reference. 
 
 It is obvious that such a book, to be of value to the diversified interests 
 to which it appeals, must be as accurate as conscientious work can make it. 
 Absolute reliability has been the great aim of the publication, and the long 
 service of the publishers to the public is its best guarantee.

 OTIS, Gen. Harrison Gray. Citi- 
 zen, soldier, journalist, editor of The 
 Los Angeles Times. He was a 
 farmer's son, a printer's apprentice, a 
 roller-boy and a "journeyman." 
 Possessed of the wanderlust when he 
 was a young fellow, at 22 he married 
 Miss Eliza A. Wetherby, in 18S9, and 
 became a family man while yet only 
 little more than a boy in age. His 
 school education was limited. The 
 most valuable part of it was acquired 
 in printing offices. Returning to Los 
 .Angeles after the close of the war 
 in the Philippines, where he served as 
 a brigade commander, he resumed his 
 duties as president and general man- 
 ager of The Times-Mirror Company 
 and editor of the Los Angeles Times. 
 He is still on deck. He is an Old 
 Guard Republican and a steady op- 
 ponent of political insurgency. His 
 name and his journal are recognized 
 and distinguished throughout the 
 United States as the names of the 
 "foremost defenders of the faith" in 
 the sacred cause of freedom in the in- 
 dustries. In the long period of his 
 residence in Los Angeles — nearly a 
 third of a century — Gen. Otis has 
 personally applied himself, almost 
 without interruption, to his newspa- 
 per tasks; yet in his capacity as a 
 developer of the country, associated 
 with others, he has engaged in out- 
 side activities to no small extent. He 
 has put money into land and cattle in 
 the San Fernando Valley, in the delta 
 of the Colorado River on both sides 
 of the International Boundary line, 
 and in the famous Tejon Ranches 
 lying northwestwardly from Los An- 
 geles. He is a member of the 
 .American .Academy of Sciences, As- 
 sociated Press, American Newspaper 
 Publishers' Association, Grand .Army 
 of the Republic, Military Order of the 
 Loyal Legion, Society of the .Army of 
 the Potomac, Military Order of For- 
 eign Wars. United Spanish War Vet- 
 erans, National Society of the -Army 
 of the Philippines, Veteran Army of 
 the Philippines, and Order of Sons

 of the American Revolution. His city 
 home is "The Bivouac," Westlake; 
 and he supports, besides, a pic- 
 turesque country place called "The 
 Outpost" in the foothills of Holly- 
 wood. Mrs. Otis died in November, 
 1904, leaving behind her a beautiful, 
 tender and fragrant memory, cher- 
 ished bj' her husband, family and life- 
 long friends. She made her mark in 
 the journalistic and literary world, 
 creating a living work in poetry and 
 prose, "California, Where Sets the 
 Sun."
