                    RECOGNIZING PHILIP, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Philip, SD. The 
town of Philip will celebrate the 100th anniversary of its founding 
this year.
  Located in Haakon County, Philip was founded in 1907 with the arrival 
of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad. It was named after James 
``Scotty'' Philip, a local rancher who was known for his efforts to 
preserve the buffalo population from extinction. Philip has been a 
successful and thriving community for the past 100 years and I am 
confident that it will continue to serve as an example of South Dakota 
values and traditions for the next 100 years.
  I would like to offer my congratulations to the citizens of Philip on 
this milestone anniversary and wish them continued prosperity in the 
years to come.
