             125TH ANNIVERSARY OF HOT SPRINGS, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Hot Springs, SD. 
The town of Hot Springs commemorated its 125th anniversary of its 
founding with celebrations June 27-29, 2008.
  Located in Fall River County, Hot Springs was founded in 1883. 
Originally called ``Minnekahta'' which means ``warm waters'', the 
town's name was changed to Hot Springs in 1886.
  Since its beginning 125 years ago, the community of Hot Springs has 
continued to serve as a strong example of South Dakota values and 
traditions.
  I would like to offer my congratulations to the citizens of Hot 
Springs on this milestone anniversary and wish them continued 
prosperity in the years to come.
