She came here from El Paso, Tex., when her husband, a staff sergeant in the Air Force, was transferred to Alaska. Prior to that they had lived in Tokyo, Japan, where Russel had met and married the winsome Jundo, and where their first child was born; Since coming to America, Mrs. Jacobson has, found much to in "SOP, 1 : r DAILY HERALD tnfy . iJT g Another In Herald Series on Scenic Areas. - 400-poun- tree-shad- d ed , -- 17-in- ch black-toppe- little-know- " ot rThousand Springs .

Then ; we dropped down quickly (1,000 feet in five miles) through lovely Wotid River Valley to Ketchum, a town that has had two booms one last century when silver and lead were discovered; the second in 1936 when powder snow became the gold in "them thar hills." Today Ketchum is somewhat overshadowed by its famous neighbor Sun Valley, but it stubbornly retains a western personality all its own. One mile northeast is Sun Valley, Idaho's entry in the sun, ski and fun derby. The top publicized resort of its kind in America, its skiing facilities are perhaps only rivaled in the West by Aspen in Colorado and Alta in Utah. We were particularly impressed with the new double chair lift carrying 800 skiers per hour. But skiing is only part of the glamour setup.

At all seasons there are back roads that lead to oddities of nature and to ghost towns where stirring chapters of western history were written. The lighted dome of the sturdy sandstone and granite State Capitol,' a beacon as we drove into Boise,x was our starting point for getting acquainted with the city. The thing that will remain longest in your memory is the fine collection of bird displays in the rotunda; more than 300 are shown In appropriate settings. ' From the park we next drove down Capitol Boulevard to the imposing State Historical Museum, whose displays of pioneer lore and Indian relics served as a background for our later probe into Idaho's contradictory domain of rip roaring history.
