          ITEM 5:  OTHER EVENTS

                    The Company reported a loss of 56 cents per
          share for the fourth quarter of 1993, compared to losses
          of 38 cents in the fourth quarter of 1992 and 65 cents in
          the third quarter of 1993.  Excluding non-recurring items
          in each quarter, the Company incurred a 35 cent loss in
          the fourth quarter of 1993, compared to losses of 56
          cents in the fourth quarter of 1992 and 40 cents in the
          third quarter of 1993.

                    For the year, the loss per share of $1.98
          compared to a loss of $5.05 in 1992.  Excluding non-
          recurring items in each period, the Company incurred a
          loss of $1.44 per share in 1993, compared to a loss of
          $1.33 in 1992.  The non-recurring items for 1993 included
          an eight cent charge as a result of the adoption in the
          fourth quarter, retroactive to January 1, 1993, of the
          new Financial Accounting Standards Board accounting
          standard for postemployment benefits.

                    Despite significant improvements in the
          Company's operating performance and higher earnings in
          its wood products business, results for the year and the
          quarter ended December 31, 1993 were affected by
          continued weak prices for pulp and certain of its paper
          grades.

                    The Company's paper segment reported a loss
          from operations for the year of $134 million compared
          with a loss of $7 million in 1992.  The fourth quarter
          loss of $24 million compared with losses of $16 million a
          year ago and $22 million in the third quarter of 1993.

                    The Company's wood products segment reported
          income from operations of $248 million for the year, up
          from $125 million in 1992.  Fourth quarter income from
          operations of $57 million improved from $32 million in
          both the prior and year-ago quarters.  The improved
          earnings were due primarily to significantly higher
          prices for lumber, plywood and timber.
