                     IN HONOR OF THE TOWN OF PHELPS

                                 ______

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 22, 2005

  Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, today I'd like to recognize the 
Town of Phelps, which this year celebrates 100th anniversary. Phelps is 
located within the Nicolet National Forest, and is home to some of the 
most forested and beautiful parts of the State.
  Charles Hackley, William Phelps and John Bonnell, three loggers, 
founded the Town of Phelps in 1905. Their hard work set the standard 
high for residents, and these days the town can pride itself on a 
strong work ethic, upholding family values, and continually moving 
`forward'--exemplifying Wisconsin's State motto.
  Over the years, the small towns and villages that blanket Wisconsin 
have demonstrated how truly unique and wonderful our State is. The Town 
of Phelps is no exception. It is a tightknit community and its charm 
entices scores of visitors every year.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored and pleased to recognize the Town of Phelps 
on this historic day. One hundred years is a very special 
accomplishment, and on behalf of the residents of Wisconsin's 8th 
Congressional District, and the U.S. Congress, we say congratulations.

                          ____________________
