                          ISABEL, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Isabel, SD. The 
town of Isabel will commemorate the 100th anniversary of its founding 
this year.
  Isabel was founded in 1911 and named after the daughter of a railroad 
agent. Located in Dewey County, it was a booming community in the early 
years when the town served as the last western stop on the Milwaukee 
railroad. Isabel became a home for settlers looking for a place to 
successfully raise livestock and farm. Today, the community of Isabel 
continues to carry on their strong agricultural heritage and grow their 
local businesses.
  Isabel 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. I would like to offer my 
congratulations to the citizens of Isabel on this landmark occasion and 
wish them continued prosperity in the years to come.
