     The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange

Registration Statement:

(a) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
October 31, 2001, as amended.

(b) The Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended
April 30, 2002 and January 31, 2002, as amended.

(c) The Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on June 4, 2002,

including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating

All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof, and prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment which indicates that the securities offered
hereby have been sold or which deregister the securities covered hereby then

Item 4.	DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     Not applicable.

Item 5.	INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     None.

Item 6.	INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Sections 23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Washington Business
Corporation Act authorize the court to award, or a corporation's board of
directors to grant, indemnification to directors and officers on terms
sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Section 23B.08.320 authorizes a corporation to eliminate or limit a director's
personal liability to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages
for conduct as a director except in certain circumstances involving acts or
omissions, intentional misconduct by a director or knowing violations of law
by a director or distributions illegal under Washington law or any transaction
from which the director will personally receive a benefit in money, property
or services to which the director is not legally entitled.

     Article IX of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation provide that no
director shall be personally liable to the Registrant or its shareholders for
monetary damages for his or her conduct as a director except for (1) acts or
omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law by
the director, (2) approval of distributions or loans in violation of the
Revised Code of Washington Section 23A.08.450 or (3) any transaction from
which the director will personally receive a benefit in money, property or
services to which the director is not legally entitled.  Article IX of the
Registrant's Articles of Incorporation further provides that if the Washington
Business Corporation Act is amended to authorize corporate action further
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the
liability of a director of the Registrant shall be eliminated or limited to
the fullest extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act as so
amended.

     Article X of the Registrant's Bylaws provides that the Registrant shall
indemnify and hold each director and officer harmless against any and all loss
due to the fact that the person is or was a director or officer except for
losses arising out of:  (a) acts or omissions finally adjudged to be
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (b) approval of
distributions or loans that are finally adjudged to be in violation of the
applicable provisions of Washington law or (c) any transaction in which it is
finally adjudged that the director or officer personally received a benefit in
money, property or services to which the director or officer was not legally
entitled.  Except to enforce these indemnification provisions, the Registrant
does not indemnify a director or officer in connection with an action (or part
thereof) initiated by the director or officer unless authorized by the Board
of Directors.  If the Washington Business Corporation Act is amended to
authorize further indemnification of directors or officers, then the directors
and officers of the Registrant will be indemnified to the fullest extent
permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act as so amended.

     The Registrant's Bylaws further provide that an indemnitee shall be
presumed to be entitled to indemnification and have the right to be paid all
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending any action in
advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such
expenses in advance of the final disposition of an action are required to be
returned if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is
not entitled to be indemnified.

     In addition, the Registrant may, by action of its Board of Directors,
provide indemnification and pay expenses in advance of the final disposition
of an action to employees and agents of the Registrant with the same scope and
effect as indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and
officers of the Registrant or pursuant to rights granted pursuant to or
provided by the Washington Business Corporation Act or otherwise.

                  the Common Stock being registered

 23.1             Consent of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

 23.2             Consent of Perkins Coie LLP (included in opinion
                  filed as Exhibit 5.1)

 24.1             Power of Attorney (see signature page)

     The Registrant hereby undertakes that it will submit or has submitted
the plans and any amendments thereto to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
in a timely manner and has made or will make all changes required by the IRS
in order to qualify the plans.

Item 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

A.  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

    (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

        (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;

        (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement; and

        (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
at the termination of the offering.

B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefits
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that
is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

                           SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Longview, State of Washington, on
the 6th day of September, 2002.

     The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange

Registration Statement:

(a) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
October 31, 2001, as amended.

(b) The Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended
April 30, 2002 and January 31, 2002, as amended.

(c) The Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on June 4, 2002,

Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating

All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof, and prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment which indicates that the securities offered
hereby have been sold or which deregister the securities covered hereby then

this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof commencing on the
respective dates on which such documents are filed.

Item 4.	DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     Not applicable.

Item 5.	INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     None.

Item 6.	INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Sections 23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Washington Business
Corporation Act authorize the court to award, or a corporation's board of
directors to grant, indemnification to directors and officers on terms
sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Section 23B.08.320 authorizes a corporation to eliminate or limit a director's
personal liability to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages
for conduct as a director except in certain circumstances involving acts or
omissions, intentional misconduct by a director or knowing violations of law
by a director or distributions illegal under Washington law or any transaction
from which the director will personally receive a benefit in money, property
or services to which the director is not legally entitled.

     Article IX of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation provide that no
director shall be personally liable to the Registrant or its shareholders for
monetary damages for his or her conduct as a director except for (1) acts or
omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law by
the director, (2) approval of distributions or loans in violation of the
Revised Code of Washington Section 23A.08.450 or (3) any transaction from
which the director will personally receive a benefit in money, property or
services to which the director is not legally entitled.  Article IX of the
Registrant's Articles of Incorporation further provides that if the Washington
Business Corporation Act is amended to authorize corporate action further
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the
liability of a director of the Registrant shall be eliminated or limited to
the fullest extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act as so
amended.

     Article X of the Registrant's Bylaws provides that the Registrant shall
indemnify and hold each director and officer harmless against any and all loss
due to the fact that the person is or was a director or officer except for
losses arising out of:  (a) acts or omissions finally adjudged to be
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (b) approval of
distributions or loans that are finally adjudged to be in violation of the
applicable provisions of Washington law or (c) any transaction in which it is
finally adjudged that the director or officer personally received a benefit in
money, property or services to which the director or officer was not legally
entitled.  Except to enforce these indemnification provisions, the Registrant
does not indemnify a director or officer in connection with an action (or part
thereof) initiated by the director or officer unless authorized by the Board
of Directors.  If the Washington Business Corporation Act is amended to
authorize further indemnification of directors or officers, then the directors
and officers of the Registrant will be indemnified to the fullest extent
permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act as so amended.

     The Registrant's Bylaws further provide that an indemnitee shall be
presumed to be entitled to indemnification and have the right to be paid all
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending any action in
advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such
expenses in advance of the final disposition of an action are required to be
returned if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is
not entitled to be indemnified.

     In addition, the Registrant may, by action of its Board of Directors,
provide indemnification and pay expenses in advance of the final disposition
of an action to employees and agents of the Registrant with the same scope and
effect as indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and
officers of the Registrant or pursuant to rights granted pursuant to or
provided by the Washington Business Corporation Act or otherwise.

 23.2             Consent of Perkins Coie LLP (included in opinion
                  filed as Exhibit 5.1)

 24.1             Power of Attorney (see signature page)

     The Registrant hereby undertakes that it will submit or has submitted
the plans and any amendments thereto to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
in a timely manner and has made or will make all changes required by the IRS
in order to qualify the plans.

Item 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

A.  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

    (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

        (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;

        (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement; and

        (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
at the termination of the offering.

B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefits
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that
is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

                           SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Longview, State of Washington, on
the 6th day of September, 2002.
