                          BOWDLE, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Bowdle, SD. The 
town of Bowdle will celebrate its 125th anniversary this year.
  Bowdle was founded in 1886 and experienced rapid growth as the rail 
line running through the town continued to expand westward. Located in 
Edmunds County, it has now become an agricultural center in the region. 
It also has a strong local business community and excellent healthcare 
and educational facilities.
  Bowdle has been a successful and thriving community for the past 125 
years, and I am confident that it will continue to serve as an example 
of South Dakota values and traditions. I would like to offer my 
congratulations to the citizens of Bowdle on this landmark occasion and 
wish them continued prosperity in the years to come.
