The tall prairie grasswould have rolled like wavessweeping across a windy bay.

Stan Johnson imaginedhow the wind would haveswept the prairie grass 100years earlier as he travelednear Milbank on a passengertrain.

In 1941, Johnson’s parentsallowed him to travel alonefrom Chicago, Ill., to Tacoma,Wash., on the Olympian, oneof America’s greatest luxurytrains of pre-World War IIdays. Johnson’s stepfatherwas a conductor on theOlympian and, although hewas only 13, Johnson had al-ready made many trips bytrain from the West Coast toChicago. Johnson describedthe journey in “The MilwaukeeRoad Olympian: A Ride to Re-member,” published by theMuseum of North Idaho.

The Olympian was oper-ated by the Chicago, Milwau-kee, St. Paul and PacificRailroad (the MilwaukeeRoad) between Chicago andthe Pacific Northwest. It fea-tured elegant air-conditionedcars, comfortable berths andgourmet dining. The Olympianentered South Dakota near BigStone City about 5 hours afterpulling out of the St. PaulUnion Station at 8:40 a.m. Cen-tral Time, according to one of

the book’s reproduced timeta-bles.

The many Irish and Dutchfamilies who settled near Mil-bank raised grain and builtwindmills that ground graininto flour. By the time Johnsontraveled through Milbank, thesole windmill stood in the cen-ter of town as a historicalmonument.

The Olympian traveledpast Webster, Bristol, An-dover, Groton and Bath, allknown as ’10-mile towns’ be-cause of the spacing betweensidings, Johnson wrote.

Johnson realized the areathrough which the train waspassing had once been primebuffalo hunting country. NowJohnson saw migratory birds,and hoped in vain to see coy-otes and pheasants.

The Olympian pulled intoAberdeen’s brick depot ontime at 3:50 p.m. and stoppedfor 10 minutes as train and en-gine crews were changed.

“The place was planned asa railroad town and had ful-filled expectations,” Johnsonwrote. “There was a train in orout of the city every 18 min-utes in 1920. West of townwere Milwaukee-run stock-yards for cattle, sheep andhogs, and in town there was alarge freight yard and engineterminal facilities, including a

roundhouse.” Four railroads went

through Aberdeen in 1941, andbranch lines radiated from thecity.

At Ipswich, a town that hadonce led the nation in theshipping of bison bones thatwere used for fertilizer, thegrade began to climb. A smallgeological marker near Selbynoted the edge of the GreatAmerican Desert and the be-ginning of the true West. John-son’s plans for this trip’sintroduction to the Westbegan in Mobridge.

During summers in the

1930s and 1940s, Lakotadancers met the Olympianwhen it made a 12-minute stopat Mobridge. It became anevent eagerly anticipated bytrain passengers.

“The Indians dressed in themost gorgeous of ceremonialoutfits: full eagle-featheredheaddresses, buckskin fringedleggings and skirts with bead-work, small bells and porcu-pine quills sewn in intricatedesigns and exquisite hand-made moccasins with stillmore beadwork on their feet,”Johnson wrote.

The group would dance

several short dances to thebeat of a small drum that oneof the children would play.

“It was exciting to be thereclose to them and to witnesssomething unquestionablygenuine and real. It was likesomeone operating a windowback into history,” Johnsonstated.

After leaving the depot atMobridge, Johnson lookeddown into the yellow-brownwater of the Missouri River asOlympian crossed the Mis-souri River bridge. The firsttrain steamed across thebridge in March 1908.

“The trusses of the bridge,angled for strength, slippedpast the window on an obliquepathway that caused them toappear to be moving first upand then down, almost asthough they were involved insome sort of rhythmic dance.The bridge was long, nearly aslong as 10 football fields laidend to end, so there wasplenty of time to enjoy the ex-perience,” Johnson wrote.

Johnson realized that theMissouri River divided thestate into two different areas:the prairie grassland of thewest side and the crop farm-ing of the east side. He alsonoted that South Dakota land-scape could be characterizedas being one of two types. “Ei-

ther it is gently rolling grassyplains with low rounded hills,or a harsher, sterner country-side of hills and gullies erodedby the sun and wind andwater, watched over by higherand sharper hills.”

The Olympian reachedLemmon at 7:30 p.m. Moun-tain Time.

“The town and countrysidelooked like a movie Westerngunfight set, but historicallyLemmon had been known asone of the places where ranch-ers raising sheep and cattleand those farming got alongespecially well,” Johnsonwrote.

The Olympian soon en-tered North Dakota, and John-son continued on hismemorable ride to Tacoma.Johnson became, among otherthings, an elevator operator, anewspaper reporter and an ac-ademic psychologist. Butmostly, he remained a manwho knew and loved railroads.

Dear Car Talk:We just bought a brand-new Subaru

Crosstrek. The dealer says it uses syn-thetic oil and that the oil changes willcost $75. Do we have to use syntheticoil? Is $75 a reasonable price? Soundslike a lot when we’re used to paying $35for an oil change.

— SherriCongratulations on your brand-new

heap, Sherri! I like the Crosstrek.It does use synthetic oil. In my expe-

rience at the garage, synthetic oil is su-perior to standard motor oil, and itmakes sense that more and more manu-facturers require it now.

It does seem to provide superior lu-brication. Not only is it more "slippery"than conventional oil, but it lubricatesbetter in both very cold and very hottemperatures, which reduces wear and

makes the enginelast longer.

The other greatadvantage of syn-thetic oil is that itmaintains its lubric-ity longer than regu-lar oil. So instead ofdoing an oil changeevery 3,750 miles,you can do it every7,500 miles, for in-stance. Some manu-facturers go evenlonger.

So the mathworks out about the same. You pay twiceas much for your oil changes, but you dothem only about half as often. And, pre-sumably, you’ll save money on engine re-pairs later in the car’s life. And youmight even get a little better mileagewith the synthetic.

And because you’re draining out oldoil less often, you’re creating less waste

oil, which is better for the environment. And $75 is not an unreasonable price

for an oil-and-filter change with syn-thetic oil. You might be able to do a littlebit better at an independent shop, butthe dealer is not taking advantage ofyou, Sherri.

Kylie Elizabeth Huether, daughter of Mike and Cindy Huether of Sioux Falls, SD, granddaughter of Vern and Marilyn Loecker and Earl and Diane Reese all of Yankton, and David John Kiesner, son of Tom and Shelly Kiesner of Rogers, MN, were married November 29 at the historic St. Joseph Cathedral by Father Tom Fitzpatrick and Father James Morgan. “Old fashioned traditional” carried the day with the bride adorned in her Grandma Loecker’s wedding dress and Grandma Keiesner’s veil, simple babies breath, 7 beautiful attendants in muted greys, pinks and taupes, with the men dressed in black. Sacred music, a memorable liturgy and the radiant light

and colors of a sun drenched God given day created a beacon of love, faith and hope. Guests from 26 states enjoyed “sparkle and glitz” at The District as signature drinks, pot roast with mashed potatoes, cooked carrots, cookies for dessert, and a bevy of toasts and laughter engulfed the king’s table and the beaming couple. The festivities ended too soon with a St. John’s/St. Benedict “Johnnie/Bennie” tradition, dancing and singing to Billy Joel’s Piano Man. After honeymooning in St. Martin, the Kiesners live in Sioux Falls where David is a Merchandiser at POET Nutrition and Kylie is a Project Manager at Sanford World Clinics.

I loved my 80th birthday so much I want to do it again next year. Thanks to everyone for the beautiful cards and the unexpected gifts. I want to thank my four sisters for the beautiful flowers I received. Mostly, I want to thank my four children for making my birthday so special even though I argued against my picture in the paper and everything else they wanted to do, especially the gift. They didn’t listen to me now as they didn’t 40 years ago, but I still love them.

Thank you all so much, Elaine Hauger
