               100TH ANNIVERSARY OF HARVEY, NORTH DAKOTA

 Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize a 
community in North Dakota that will be celebrating its 100th 
anniversary. On June 29 to July 2, the residents of Harvey will gather 
to celebrate their community's history and founding.
  Harvey holds an important place in North Dakota's history. Harvey was 
founded in 1892 and named for COL James S. Harvey, a stockholder from 
Wisconsin. It became a city in 1906, with Aloys Wartner serving as its 
first mayor.
  Today, Harvey is a vibrant community in central North Dakota. 
Situated at the head waters of the beautiful Sheyenne River and in 
close proximity to the Lonetree Wildlife Management Area and the North 
Country National Scenic Trail, Harvey has great appeal for recreation 
and wildlife enthusiasts alike. The people of Harvey are enthusiastic 
about their community and the quality of life it offers. The community 
has a wonderful centennial planned that includes a street dance, golf 
tournament, demolition derby, lumberjack show, centennial games, 
parade, and many other activities for all ages.
  Mr. President, I ask the Senate to join me in congratulating Harvey, 
ND, and its residents on their first 100 years and in wishing them well 
through the next century. By honoring Harvey and all the other historic 
small towns of North Dakota, we keep the great pioneering frontier 
spirit alive for future generations. It is places such as Harvey that 
have helped to shape this country into what it is today, which is why 
this fine community is deserving of our recognition.
  Harvey has a proud past and a bright future.
