               125TH ANNIVERSARY OF SENECA, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Seneca, SD. 
Founded in 1884, the town of Seneca will celebrate its 125th 
anniversary this year.
  Located in Faulk County, Seneca possesses the strong sense of 
community that makes South Dakota an outstanding place to live and 
work. Seneca began 125 years ago as a very prosperous railroad town; 
and throughout its rich history, Seneca has continued to be a strong 
reflection of South Dakota's greatest values and traditions. The city 
of Seneca has much to be proud of and I am confident that Seneca's 
success will continue well into the future.
  The town of Seneca will commemorate the 125th anniversary of its 
founding with celebrations held on June 26 through June 28. I would 
like to offer my congratulations to the citizens of Seneca on this 
milestone anniversary and wish them continued prosperity in the years 
to come.
