             CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION FOR MURDO, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I rise to recognize my 
hometown of Murdo, SD, which is celebrating its centennial this year.
  Located in Jones County, the town of Murdo was established in 1906 
when a lot sale was held to distribute the land that originally 
belonged to cattle rancher Murdo Mackenzie. Today, Murdo is a thriving 
town that I am proud to call home. It is a welcoming community that 
reflects the values and principles we as Americans hold dear.
  It gives me great pleasure to rise with my fellow citizens of Murdo 
in celebrating our centennial and looking forward to a bright 
future.
