SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Boise Cascade Corporation, Common Stock, $2.50 Par 
Value, and Associated Common Stock Purchase Rights) File No. 1-05057

May 23, 2000.
    Boise Cascade Corporation (``Company'') has filed an application 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ 
and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its Common Stock, $2.50 
par value, and associated Common Stock Purchase Rights (referred to 
collectively herein as the ``Securities''),\3\ from listing and 
registration on the Chicago Stock Exchange, Incorporated (``CHX'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
    \3\ The Common Stock Purchase Rights are currently attached to, 
and trade together with, the Company's Common Stock.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Company, whose Securities are additionally listed on the New 
York Stock Exchange (``NYSE''), is seeking to withdraw the Securities 
from listing and registration on the CHX at this time in order to save 
the costs associated with such listing and related compliance. The 
Company's Common Stock has been listed for trading on the CHX since 
1968, but in a recent review of its business conduct the Company found 
that the majority (more than 95%) of its Common Stock is traded on the 
NYSE. The Company's board of directors has therefore determined that no 
significant business reasons exist for maintaining the Securities' 
listing and registration on the CHX.
    The Company has stated that its application relates solely to the 
withdrawal of the Securities from listing and registration on the CHX 
and shall have no effect upon the Securities' continued listing and 
registration on the NYSE under Section 12(b) of the Act.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The withdrawal of the Securities from listing and registration on 
the CHX was approved by the Company's board of directors at a meeting 
held on July 31, 1998, and a resolution so stating was forwarded to the 
CHX in accordance with its rules. The Company has included with its 
application a copy of a letter from the CHX confirming that the 
Company's request for withdrawal complies with the rules of the CHX 
governing an issuer's removal of securities from listing and 
registration on the CHX.
    Any interested person may, on or before June 14, 2000, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the CHX 
and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the 
protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the 
date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a 
hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.\5\
