JAMES JOHNSTON, Plantation Manager. Long experience in various capacities in 
the sugar industry of Hawaii preceded the appointment of James Johnston to the 
position of manager of Kaiwiki Sugar Co., which he has held since 1913.
  Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, July 25, 1882, the son of Robert and Isabell 
Johnston, he was educated in the public schools and at an agricultural 
college. For seven years he engaged in farming in his native land, before

arrived in the Territory, Dec. 14, 1903. For three years he was a team luna at 
Ookala, Hawaii, and then served for two years as a bookkeeper. For the next 
five years he was head luna at Ookala plantation, being promoted in 1913 to 
his present post. He married Jeanie A. T. Milne in Honolulu, Oct. 13, 1914, 
and they have two sons, Edwin M. and Harvey Johnston. Mr. Johnston is a Mason.
