ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

(a)  GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

     Longview Fibre Company was incorporated in the State of Washington in
     1990 as a successor to a company of the same name incorporated in the
     State of Delaware in 1926.  No general development of material importance
     has occurred during the past fiscal year.

(b)  FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

     This item is completed by reference to Note 7 of Item 8 of Part II of
     this Form 10-K.

(c)  NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    (i-xi)Principal Products, Markets and Methods of Distribution

          TIMBER - The company owns and operates tree farms in Oregon and
          Washington which produce logs for sale in the domestic and export
          markets.  The majority of domestic sales are to independent
          sawmills and plywood plants within a reasonable hauling distance
          from our tree farms.  The company exports logs principally to Japan
          through sales to U. S. exporters or directly to foreign importers.
          The company does not believe that the loss of one customer or a few
          customers would have a material effect on the company.  See
          "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations - Forward Looking Statements".

          At October 31, 2000, the company owned in fee 572,032 acres of tree
          farms which are managed on a sustained yield basis with rotations
          of 40 years for hardwood and 55 to 70 years for coniferous species.
          Environmental regulations requiring set asides, buffer zones and
          which otherwise limit our ability to harvest timber reduce the
          value of our tree farms.  The company estimates that the reduction
          in value due to such regulations does not exceed eighteen percent
          of realizable value.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
          Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Forward Looking
          Statements".

          The company owns and operates a sawmill in Leavenworth, Washington.
          Having a sawmill in this region has improved the log realization of
          the Chelan tree farm.  Residual wood chips are used at the
          company's pulp and paper mill in Longview, Washington.

          PAPER AND PAPERBOARD - The company's pulp and paper mill in
          Longview, Washington produces pulp which is manufactured into kraft
          paper and containerboard.

          Sales of paper are made primarily in the domestic market with some
          grades of paper sold in the export market.  Containerboard is sold
          in the export market and in the Pacific Coast states.  The company
          does not believe that the loss of one customer or a few customers
          would have a material effect on the company.  Products are sold by
          the company's sales force working out of San Francisco and Los
          Angeles, California; Longview, Washington; Milwaukee, Wisconsin;

                                     Page 2
          and Atlanta, Georgia or through paper merchants.  See "Management's
          Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
          Operations - Forward Looking Statements".

          The mill's raw material fibers come primarily from purchased wood
          chips and sawdust with important contributions from fiber reclaimed
          from post-consumer and post-industrial waste, purchased bleached
          pulp, and augmented by log chipping operations owned by the company
          and others.  Wood chips, our principal raw material, and sawdust
          and shavings are purchased from more than 60 sawmills, plywood
          plants and whole-log chipping facilities within a 1,300-mile radius
          from the Longview Mill.  The company purchases bleached pulp from
          various sources including an arrangement to purchase pressed
          bleached pulp (which has not been dried) from a nearby mill which
          has excess capacity.  This has proven to be a beneficial
          arrangement.

          A new head box for #11 machine and revisions to #7 machine have
          been authorized.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
          Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and
          Capital Resources".

          To spread risk, the company has been engaged in a long campaign to
          increase value added products, such as extensible paper, recycled
          kraft paper, specialty kraft, masking paper and colored kraft
          paper.  Through the years, paper machines of various trim widths
          and capabilities have been added while the smaller and older
          machines have been kept in service to make small lots of colors and
          other specialties.  During the course of this evolution, the basic
          commodity products (paperboard and bag paper) were not neglected as
          this makes the volume great enough to lower pulp and utility costs.
          Several machines are swing machines which can produce paper or
          paperboard.  Due to current market conditions, a greater proportion
          of paperboard is being produced.  See "Management's Discussion and
          Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Forward
          Looking Statements".

          CONVERTED PRODUCTS - The company's sixteen converting plants in
          eleven states produce shipping containers and merchandise bags.
          The tonnage of paper and containerboard used in the converting
          plants equals approximately 57% of the Longview mill production.

          Bags are sold by the company's sales force working out of San
          Francisco, California; Longview, Washington; and Waltham,
          Massachusetts.  Sales are made directly or through paper merchants.

          Corrugated and solid fibre boxes are sold by the company's offices
          located at Longview, Seattle and Yakima, Washington; Portland,
          Oregon; San Francisco, Los Angeles and Oakland, California; Twin
          Falls, Idaho; Spanish Fork and Cedar City, Utah; Milwaukee,
          Wisconsin; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Grand Forks, North Dakota;
          Minneapolis, Minnesota; Seward, Nebraska; Atlanta, Georgia;
          Amsterdam, New York; and Springfield, Massachusetts.  The company
          does not believe that the loss of one customer or a few customers
          would have a material effect on the business of the company.  See
          "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations - Forward Looking Statements".

                                     Page 3
          A box plant is being built at Bowling Green, Kentucky for startup
          in mid 2001 and a sheet plant at Seward, Nebraska, started up in
          October 2000.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
          Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and
          Capital Resources", and "Forward Looking Statements".

          In the timber segment, there is competition with various domestic
          and international timber companies.  We believe we are one of the
          largest U. S. exporters of logs to the Japanese market.  In the
          paper and paperboard segment, there is intense competition among a
          significant number of competitors, including conventional paper
          mills, and recycling mills that rely on recycled post-consumer and
          industrial material as the principal fiber source.  The converted
          products segment also involves intense competition among many
          competitors.  Competition in these manufacturing segments is based
          principally on price, quality of product, service and reliability.
          The company emphasizes quality, service and reliability, and has
          not competed aggressively on the basis of price or typically sought
          out large national customer accounts that frequently involve
          demands for discount pricing, although there are large account
          customers with whom the company has established relationships.  See
          "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations - Forward Looking Statements".

          The following table sets forth the contribution to sales by each
          class of similar products which accounted for more than 10% of
          sales.

          No material portion of the business of the company is seasonal.

          The practice of the company and the industry does not require an
          abnormal amount of working capital.

    (xii) This item is completed by reference to Item 7 of Part II of this
          Form 10-K.

   (xiii) The company has approximately 3,750 employees.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

The principal plants and important physical properties of the company are held
without any major encumbrances and their respective locations by industry
segment are as follows:

TIMBER - As of October 31, 2000, the company owned in fee 572,032 acres of
tree farms located in various counties of Washington and Oregon.  The company
as a matter of policy has consistently acquired and intends to continue to
acquire more timberlands whenever available at acceptable prices dependent on
the location and quality of the site involved and the species and quality of
the merchantable timber and growing stock thereon.  The company operates its
tree farms on a sustained yield basis with rotations of 40 years for hardwood
and 55 to 70 years for coniferous species.  No large inventory of mature trees
is maintained.

See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations".

PAPER AND PAPERBOARD - At Longview, Washington on a site of approximately 350
acres owned by the company with deep water frontage on the Columbia River and
featuring connections with two transcontinental railroads and adequate highway
access, there is an integrated operation for producing pulp and delivering it
to twelve paper and/or containerboard machines with full supporting
facilities.

Mill utilization was at 88% during fiscal 2000.

See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations".

CONVERTED PRODUCTS - On the same site at Longview there is a box factory for
production of solid fibre and corrugated boxes.

See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations".


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The company is a party to various proceedings relating to the cleanup of
hazardous waste under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation
and Liability Act, and similar state laws.  The company is also a party to
other legal proceedings generally incidental to its business.  Although the
final outcome of any legal proceeding cannot be predicted with any degree of
certainty, the company presently believes that any ultimate liability
resulting from any of the legal proceedings, or all of them combined, would
not have a material effect on the company's financial position or results of
operation.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations - Forward Looking Statements".

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS fiscal 2000 vs. fiscal 1999

Net income for fiscal 2000 was $37,647,000 as compared with $19,984,000 for
fiscal 1999.  Operating results improved in the manufacturing segments of the
business, but declined in the timber segment.

Operating profits for the timber segment decreased 17% in fiscal 2000 to
$69,438,000 from $83,207,000 in fiscal 1999.  The primary reasons for the
decline were a 9% decrease in log volume sold; a 6% decrease in average lumber
prices; and higher logging, sawmill and depletion costs.  Average export
prices increased 5% from levels at the beginning of the year and demand was
stable.  Fourth quarter 2000 domestic log prices were 18% lower than year-ago
levels and demand deteriorated due to very weak lumber markets.

Domestic lumber markets declined dramatically throughout most of the year due
to a slow down in housing starts.  Average domestic lumber prices for fiscal
2000 were 8% lower than fiscal 1999.  Export lumber markets were fair and
average price improved 3% for fiscal 2000 as compared to year-ago levels.

The company operates 572,032 acres on a sustained yield basis with rotations
of 40 years for hardwood and 55 to 70 years for coniferous species.  Based on
recent large purchases and sales, we now estimate the value of the tree farms
to be between six and eight times book value.  Environmental regulations that
require set asides, buffer zones and otherwise limit our ability to harvest
timber, reduce the value of our tree farms.  The company estimates that the
reduction in value due to current and proposed regulations does not exceed 18%
of realizable value.  See "Forward-Looking Statements".

Operating results for paper and paperboard increased from an operating loss of
$4,114,000 to an operating profit of $7,662,000.  The primary reasons for this
improvement were increases in average paper and paperboard prices of 3% and
15%, respectively.  Operating results were negatively affected by increased
fiber and energy costs.

Principal raw materials for paper and paperboard include wood chips, purchased
bleach pulp, sawdust and reclaimed fibers.  Wood chip costs were about 4%
higher than the prior fiscal year.  The cost of old corrugated containers
("OCC") was 27% higher in fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999, but declined
at the end of the year.  Fourth quarter OCC costs were 15% lower than the
year-ago period.  Purchase of bleached pulp from a variety of sources has
proven to be a beneficial arrangement.  Capital projects completed in prior
years have enabled the company to utilize more lower cost raw materials, such
as OCC, and to adjust the raw material mix as markets change in an effort to
control costs.

Energy markets have become more volatile due to deregulation and supply
shortages.  The cost of electricity and natural gas increased 5% and 21%,
respectively, for fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999.  The company is
currently selling power produced at the mill to mitigate the impact of higher
energy costs.  See "Forward-Looking Statements".

Domestic linerboard markets were strong at the beginning of the fiscal year
and a price increase was initiated during the second fiscal quarter.  During


                                    Page 10
the latter part of the year demand subsided modestly and industry inventory
levels increased, but prices remained stable as production downtime reduced
available supply.  During the first six months of the year export linerboard
markets were strong and prices improved, but demand declined in the third
quarter resulting in modest price attrition at the end of the year.  The
volume of paperboard sold decreased 24% for fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal
1999.

Domestic and export paper markets improved throughout the year and the company
continued its efforts to expand its specialty business.  The volume of paper
sold increased 24% for fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999.

The mill operated at 88% of capacity due to market conditions and the rebuild
of #1 paper machine.

Operating results for converted products increased from an operating loss of
$11,485,000 to an operating profit of $19,865,000.  The primary reasons for
the improvement were a 10% increase in tonnage sold and a 9% increase in
average price.  Progress continues on the company's efforts to reduce
converting costs by improving operating efficiencies.  See "Forward-Looking
Statements".

Although domestic box demand was relatively flat for the year, the company's
volume sold improved.  A price increase was implemented during the year and
prices are currently stable.  The company continues to develop its specialty
product markets in order to improve margins.  See "Forward-Looking
Statements".

Selling, administrative and general expenses were 8% of sales for fiscal 2000
and 1999.  Interest expensed increased 4% from $38,703,000 to $40,115,000 due
primarily to higher interest rates.

The biggest uncertainty for our company is the export market for our
manufactured products where we have competitors from all over the world.
These markets have been extremely competitive and near term change is not
expected.  As a result, the company is expanding its converting sales and
capacity with the objectives of decreasing its dependence on product exports
and improving margins; this is a slow process but progress is being made.  It
appears that it will take several years of market growth for the company to
fully utilize its mill capacity.  See "Forward-Looking Statements".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FISCAL 1999 VS. FISCAL 1998

Net income for fiscal 1999 was $19,984,000 as compared with a net loss of
$6,652,000 in fiscal 1998.  The modest improvement was caused by improved
operating results in all segments of the business.

Operating profits for the timber segment improved 12% in fiscal 1999 to
$83,207,000 from $74,470,000 in fiscal 1998.  The primary reasons for the
improved results were a 1% and 13% increase in average log and lumber prices
and a 12% increase in lumber footage sold.  Export log prices were fairly
stable throughout the year and demand for douglas fir volume was stable.  Log
prices in the domestic market improved during most of the year due to strong
lumber markets.




                                    Page 11

Demand in the domestic lumber market was good as housing starts remained
strong.  Prices started increasing early in the year and peaked in July.
Fourth quarter domestic lumber prices were 13% higher than year-ago levels.
Export lumber prices improved substantially throughout the year and for the
fourth quarter were 37% above year-ago levels.

The company operates its 570,993 acres on a sustained yield basis with
rotations of 40 years for hardwood and 55 to 70 years for coniferous species.
Based on recent large purchases and sales, we now estimate the value of the
tree farms to be between six and eight times book value.  Environmental
regulations that require set asides, buffer zones and otherwise limit our
ability to harvest timber, reduce the value of our tree farms.  The company
estimates that the reduction in value due to current regulations does not
exceed 15% of realizable value.  See "Forward-Looking Statements".

Operating losses for paper and paperboard decreased from $13,009,000 in fiscal
1998 to $4,114,000 in fiscal 1999.  The primary reasons for this improvement
were decreased costs for wood chips and OCC, lower per unit operating costs
due to improved efficiencies and a higher mill operating rate and a 33%
increase in tonnage sold.

Principal raw materials for paper and paperboard include wood chips, purchased
bleach pulp, sawdust and reclaimed fibers.  Wood chip costs were about 8%
lower than the prior fiscal year.  The price of OCC increased during the year
but the average OCC cost for fiscal 1999 was 6% lower than fiscal 1998.
Purchase of bleached pulp from a variety of sources has proved to be a
beneficial arrangement.  Capital projects completed in prior years have
enabled the company to utilize more low cost raw materials, such as OCC, and
to adjust the raw material mix as markets change in an effort to control
costs.

The linerboard price deterioration which began the latter part of fiscal 1998
bottomed out in the first quarter 1999.  During the year domestic linerboard
markets strengthened as the gap between supply and end user demand was
substantially reduced by the shutdown of some linerboard capacity by others in
the first half of the year.  Export linerboard markets also improved due to
increased demand and reduced linerboard supply caused by certain suppliers
exiting that market.  Average paperboard prices for the fourth quarter
improved 13% from the first quarter low, but the average price for fiscal 1999
was 6% lower than fiscal 1998.  The volume of paperboard sold in fiscal 1999
increased 71% from year-ago levels.

The volume of paper sold increased 9% but average price decreased 7% for
fiscal 1999 as compared to fiscal 1998.

The mill operated at 85% of capacity during fiscal 1999.

Operating losses from converted products decreased from $39,870,000 in fiscal
1998 to $11,485,000 in fiscal 1999.  The primary reasons for the improvement
were lower costs of containerboard used to manufacture boxes and lower box
plant converting costs.  Operating results were favorably impacted by the
closure of the Rockford box plant and the discontinuance of most of the
grocery bag product line in 1998.

The volume of product sold decreased 5% and average price held steady with
year-ago levels.  Due to continued linerboard price deterioration in the first


                                    Page 12
quarter, box prices didn't bottom out until the second fiscal quarter.  The
company implemented two price increases during the year.

Selling, administrative and general expenses were 8% of sales in fiscal 1999
and 9% of sales in fiscal 1998.  Interest expensed declined 3% from
$39,935,000 to $38,703,000 due primarily to a lower level of borrowing
partially offset by proportionately less interest capitalized for uncompleted
projects.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operations was $112,444,000 in fiscal 2000 compared with
$117,083,000 in fiscal 1999.  The decrease was due primarily to increased
pension and other noncurrent assets.

Working capital was $42,378,000 at October 31, 2000 compared to $68,001,000 at
October 31, 1999.

Long-term debt, current installments of long-term debt and short-term
borrowings increased by an aggregate of $9,952,000 in fiscal 2000 due to
increased capital expenditures and increased dividends.

At October 31, 2000 the company had bank lines of credit totaling
$355,000,000.  Of this amount, $320,000,000 was under a credit agreement with
a group of banks expiring February 24, 2003, with renewal provisions beyond
that date.  The agreement provides for borrowings at the Offshore Rate (LIBOR
based) plus a spread, currently 1.875%, or the bank's Reference rate,
whichever the company selects.  The credit agreement contains
certain financial covenants and provides for a commitment fee on the unused
commitment, currently 0.40% per year.  The company had outstanding
$279,500,000 of notes payable under this agreement at October 31, 2000.

The company also has an agreement whereby it can borrow money by issuing notes
in the commercial paper market.  The company must maintain unused borrowing
capacity under an unsecured bank borrowing facility sufficient to cover the
commercial paper outstanding.  At October 31, 2000, the company had loans of
$35,570,000 under the commercial paper agreement.

At October 31, 2000, the company had an outstanding balance of $15,000,000
under the remaining $35,000,000 of lines of credit.  The unused portion of all
lines of credit was $24,930,000.

Also outstanding at October 31, 2000 were senior notes of $197,000,000 and
revenue bonds of $26,900,000.  For further details regarding borrowing, see
Notes 3 and 4 of notes to financial statements.

During fiscal year 1999 the company obtained amendments from the holders of
certain senior notes with respect to compliance with covenants that require
the company to maintain a specified ratio of net income available for fixed
charges to fixed charges (fixed charge coverage ratio) and in connection with
the grant of the amendments, the company agreed to pay 0.75% per annum over
the original note coupon rates until certain conditions are met.  As of
October 31, 1999 and through fiscal 2000 the company was in full compliance
with all financial covenants of the original Note Agreements without regard to
the amendments, including the fixed charge coverage ratio.  The company will
continue to pay the additional 0.75% per annum over the original note coupon

                                    Page 13
rates until it obtains an investment grade credit rating for its long-term
unsecured senior debt.

The company has initiated a program to increase its domestic converted product
business in an effort to reduce its reliance on the very competitive export
linerboard market.  As a result, capital appropriations have increased and
capital expenditures for plant and equipment for fiscal 2000 were $99,642,000
as compared with $29,237,000 for fiscal 1999.  The backlog of approved
projects as of October 31, 2000 was $106,000,000.  Capital expenditures for
plant and equipment are expected to be between $100,000,000 and $110,000,000
in fiscal 2001.  We plan to fund capital expenditures principally from
internally generated funds, supplemented if needed, by modest amount of
additional borrowing.  See "Forward-Looking Statements".

Timberland purchases for fiscal 2000 were $6,532,000 as compared with
$3,541,000 for fiscal 1999.  Purchases of timberlands will depend on
offerings, price levels and competition.  We expect any offers we make would
be at prices we believe to be conservative.  See "Forward-Looking Statements".

During fiscal 2000, the company purchased 100,000 shares of its stock.  During
fiscal 1999, the company did not purchase shares of its stock.  Purchases
began in 1964; the total number of shares acquired through fiscal 2000 is
21,503,633 shares for $98,352,664 at an average cost of $4.57 per share.

Dividends of $0.48 per share were paid in fiscal 2000 and $0.28 in fiscal
1999.  The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.12 per share which was
paid on January 10, 2001, to shareholders of record on December 22, 2000.  The
restoration of the dividend remains a high priority, which will be
accomplished when operating results and debt levels make increased dividends
prudent.

The company has not engaged in commodity, currency or interest rate hedging
arrangements or engaged in transactions involving derivatives.

OTHER

During the year ended October 31, 1999, the company adjusted the estimated
useful lives of some capital assets increasing fiscal 1999 net income by
approximately $5,845,000 or $0.11 per share.  As a result of an updated
comparison of the estimated useful lives for various asset categories of
certain companies in the industry and further study of its own asset base, the
company adjusted the estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment for
fiscal 2000.  The estimated useful lives now range from 20 to 40 years for
buildings and principally from 15 to 20 years for machinery and equipment.
This change increased fiscal 2000 net income by approximately $10,175,000 or
$0.20 per share.

The company continually reviews any known environmental exposures including
the cost of remediation.  At the present time, the company is not aware of any
environmental liabilities that would have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.  See "Forward-Looking Statements".

The company believes it is in substantial compliance with Federal, State and
local laws regarding environmental quality.  The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has issued a final air and water quality rule referred to as the
"Cluster Rule".  The Company estimates that over the next 5 years required


                                   Page 14

pollution control capital expenditures could range from $15,000,000 to
$20,000,000.  See "Forward-Looking Statements".

Although future pollution control expenditures cannot be predicted with any
certainty and could continue to escalate because of continuing changes in laws
and regulations and uncertainty as to how they will be interpreted and
applied, the company believes that compliance with these regulations will not
have a material impact on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive
position.  See "Forward-Looking Statements".

As part of an industry-supported effort, forestry regulations have been
developed in Washington to protect salmon.  These regulations restrict the
harvest of timber near streams and other environmentally sensitive areas,
thereby reducing the timber that can be harvested and increasing costs.  New
salmon regulations are also being considered in Oregon, but until the
regulations are adopted the magnitude of the impact on the company's Oregon
timberlands cannot be predicted with certainty.

The company's consolidated financial statements are prepared based on
historical costs and do not portray the effects of inflation.  The impact of
inflation is most noticeable for inventories and capital assets, although most
of the inflationary effect on inventories is already portrayed in the
consolidated income statement by use of the LIFO method of inventory
valuation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Longview Fibre Company

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of income, of shareholders' equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Longview
Fibre Company and its subsidiaries at October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended October 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statements presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The financial statements include the accounts of the company and all
subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions.

INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined on
a last-in, first-out method except for supplies at current averages.

PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION
Buildings, machinery and equipment are recorded at cost and include those
additions and improvements that add to production capacity or extend useful
life.  Cost includes interest capitalized during the construction period on
all significant asset acquisitions.  When properties are sold or otherwise
disposed, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from
the respective accounts and the resulting profit or loss is recorded in
income.  The costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to income when
incurred.

Depreciation for financial accounting purposes is computed on the straight-
line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The estimated
useful lives of assets range from 20 to 40 years for buildings and principally
from 15 to 20 years for machinery and equipment. (See Note 5)

TIMBERLANDS, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION
Timber, timberlands and timber roads are stated at cost.  Provision for
depletion of timber and amortization of logging roads represents charges per
unit of production (footage cut) based on the estimated recoverable timber.
No gain or loss is recognized on timberland exchanges since the earnings
process is not considered complete until timber is harvested and marketed.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net income (loss) per common share is computed on the basis of weighted
average shares outstanding of 51,676,567, 51,676,567 and 51,676,567 for 2000,
1999 and 1998, respectively.

PENSION AND OTHER BENEFIT PLAN COSTS
The company's policy is to accrue as cost an amount computed by the actuary
and to fund at least the minimum amount required by ERISA.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
The company recognizes revenues when goods are shipped.

NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES:

NOTE 3 - SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS:
At October 31, 2000, the company had bank lines of credit totaling $355
million.  Of this amount, $320 million was under a credit agreement with a
group of banks providing various methods of borrowing.  The agreement
provides for borrowings at the Offshore Rate (LIBOR based) plus a spread,
currently 1.875%, or the bank's Reference rate, whichever the company
selects.  The credit agreement contains certain financial covenants and
provides for a commitment fee on the unused commitment, currently 0.40% per
year.  This agreement has an expiration date of February 24, 2003 with
renewal provisions beyond that date.  At October 31, 2000, the company had
loans of $279.5 million under the credit agreement.

Also available was a commercial paper agreement providing a line of credit
totaling $50 million.  The company must maintain unused borrowing capacity
under an unsecured bank borrowing facility sufficient to cover the
commercial paper outstanding.  At October 31, 2000 the company had loans of
$35.6 million under this commercial paper agreement.

Other lines of credit totaling $35 million were available for additional
borrowing needs.  Included in this amount was a committed line of credit of
$20 million which expires March 31, 2001.  The other $15 million is
uncommitted.  At October 31, 2000, the company had an outstanding balance
of $15 million under these credit lines.

Short-term borrowings of $287 million, $270 million and $291 million at
October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, under the above agreements,
have been reclassified as long-term debt because they are to be renewed and
replaced with borrowings due beyond one year and into future periods.

Short-term borrowing activity including the amount reclassified as long-
term is summarized as follows:

Note (a) Covenants of the senior notes include tests of minimum net worth,
short-term borrowing, long-term borrowing, current ratio, fixed charge
coverage ratios and restrictions on payment of dividends.  During fiscal year
1999 the company obtained amendments from the holders of certain senior notes
and in connection with the grant of the amendments, the company agreed to pay
0.75% per annum over the original note coupon rates until it obtains an
investment grade credit rating for its long-term unsecured senior debt.  At
October 31, 2000, approximately $19 million of consolidated retained earnings
was unrestricted as to the payment of dividends.

Note (b) Primarily incurred upon the purchase of manufacturing equipment.  At
October 31, 2000, $26,900,000 was secured by liens on the equipment.

The estimated useful lives of some assets were changed for 2000 and 1999, the
effect of which increased net income by approximately $10,175,000 or $0.20 per
share and $5,845,000 or $0.11 per share, respectively.

NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Accounts receivable, revenue bonds and notes payable to banks approximate
fair value as reported in the balance sheet.  The fair value of senior
notes is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the
company's incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing
arrangements.  The fair value of the company's long-term debt approximated
the stated value at October 31, 2000 and October 31, 1999, and exceeded
the stated value by approximately $1 million at October 31, 1998.


NOTE 7 - SEGMENT INFORMATION:
The company owns and operates tree farms in Oregon and Washington which
produce logs for sale and operates a sawmill in Washington.  Its pulp and
paper mill at Longview, Washington produces pulp which is manufactured into
kraft paper and containerboard.  The raw material fibers come primarily
from purchased wood chips and sawdust with important contributions from
fiber reclaimed from post-consumer and post-industrial waste, purchased
bleach pulp, and augmented by log chipping operations owned by the company
and others.  The company's sixteen converting plants in eleven states
produce shipping containers and merchandise bags.  The tonnage of paper and
containerboard used in the converting plants equals approximately 57% of
the Longview mill production.

Included in sales to customers are export sales, principally to Japan, Hong
Kong and Southeast Asia, of $160,605,000, $158,085,000 and $135,350,000
during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  All sales are made in U. S.
dollars.

There are no intersegment sales as all manufacturing operations to produce
primary or converted products for sale are considered integrated from the
purchased wood to the sale of the finished product.

Identifiable assets are segregated or allocated to segments as follows:

1.  Assets used wholly within a segment are assigned to that segment.

2.  Assets used jointly by two segments are allocated to each segment on a
    percentage determined by dividing total cost of product into cost of
    product produced for each segment.  Paper and paperboard assets of
    $264,497,000, $248,049,000 and $308,338,000 have been allocated to
    converted products at October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization and additions to capital assets have
been segregated and allocated similarly to the method used for identifiable
assets.

SAVINGS PLANS
Voluntary savings plans are maintained for all employees who have completed
one year of continuous service.  The plans allow salary deferrals in
accordance with IRC section 401(k) provisions.  The company contribution as
a matching incentive was $1,689,000, $1,447,000 and $1,386,000 during 2000,
1999 and 1998, respectively.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The company provides postretirement health care insurance benefits for all
salaried and certain non-salaried employees and their dependents.
Individual benefits generally continue until age 65.  The company does not
pre-fund these benefits, and as such has no plan assets.

The net periodic postretirement benefit cost was calculated using a health
care cost trend rate of 9% for the indemnity plan and 6% for the HMO plan.
The accrued postretirement benefit cost at October 31, 2000 was calculated
using a health care cost trend rate of 8% for the indemnity plan and 5.5%
for the HMO plan.  The trend rate declines each year until the ultimate
health care cost trend rate, 5.5% is reached in the year 2004 for the
indemnity plan.  The ultimate health care cost trend rate of 5.5% was
reached in 2000 for the HMO plan.  A one percent increase in the health
care cost trend rate assumption has a $1,901,000 effect on the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of October 31, 2000 and a $278,000
effect on the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of the
net periodic postretirement benefit cost.  A one percent decrease in the
health care cost trend rate assumption has a $(1,675,000) effect on the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of October 31, 2000 and a
$(240,000) effect on the aggregate of service and interest cost components
of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost.  The weighted-average
discount rate used was 7.5% for 2000, 1999 and 1998.


NOTE 10 - SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN:
On January 26, 1999, the company's Board of Directors authorized a
Shareholder Rights Plan ("Plan").  The Plan provides for a dividend
distribution of one right for each share of common stock to shareholders of
record at the close of business on March 1, 1999.  With certain exceptions,
the rights will become exercisable only in the event that an acquiring
party accumulates 10% or more of the company's voting stock or a party
announces an offer to acquire 10% or more of the voting stock.  The rights
expire on March 1, 2009, if not previously redeemed or exercised.  Each
right entitles the holder to purchase one-tenth of one common share at a
price of $5.00 ($50 per whole share), subject to adjustment under certain
circumstances.  In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, holders
of the rights will be entitled to purchase a defined number of shares of an
acquiring entity or the company's common shares at half their then current
market value.  The company will generally be entitled to redeem the rights
at $0.01 per right at any time until the tenth business day following the
acquisition of 10% or more, or an offer to acquire 10% or more, of the
company's voting stock.


NOTE 11 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
During October 2000, the company repurchased 100,000 shares of its common
stock from the estate of a shareholder, which held founder stock.  The
repurchase price of the shares was based upon the market price on the date
of repurchase.  In addition, the company intends to repurchase an
additional 500,000 shares of its common stock from this estate during the
first half of fiscal 2001 at the applicable market rate on the date of the
repurchase.


NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Estimated costs to complete approved capital projects were approximately
$106 million, $33 million and $16 million at October 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively.
