                         Independent Auditors' Report



Willamette Industries Stock Purchase 
   Plan Committee
Willamette Industries Stock Purchase Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
available for benefits of Willamette Industries Stock Purchase
Plan as of December 30, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements
of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended.  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 in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards 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.  An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.  

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for benefits as of December 30, 1993 and 1992, and the
changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplementary
information included in Schedules I and II is presented for
purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and is not a required part
of the basic financial statements.  The supplemental information
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                   Willamette Industries Stock Purchase Plan

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                          December 30, 1993 and 1992

(1)   Description of the Plan

      The following description of the Willamette Industries
      Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan) is provided for general
      information purposes only.  Participants should refer
      to the Summary Plan Description for more complete
      information. 
      
      (a)   General

      Eligible employees may elect to enroll in the Plan on
      the annual enrollment date following six months of
      service.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
      Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
      (ERISA).  
      
      (b)   Contributions

            Eligible employees of Willamette Industries, Inc.
            (the Company) and its participating subsidiaries
            may contribute up to 6% of their regular monthly
            gross cash earnings.  The Company and its
            participating subsidiaries contribute monthly an
            amount equal to 100% of the contributions of its
            employees up to 6%, less the amount of any
            forfeitures.  
      
            The Plan provides for a qualified cash or deferred
            arrangement as defined in Section 401(k) of the
            Internal Revenue Code.  Participating employees
            may elect one of two methods of making employee
            contributions.  A participant may elect to make
            either:
      
            1)    Pre-tax contributions ("deferred
                  contributions") which will not be included in
                  the participant's current earnings for
                  federal income tax purposes; or

            2)    After-tax contributions ("nondeferred
                  contributions") which will be included in the
                  participant's current earnings for federal
                  income tax purposes.  

            Participating employees may direct that their own
            contributions be invested in (a) a fixed income
            fund holding primarily guaranteed insurance
            contracts, (b) a balanced investment fund holding
            primarily stocks and bonds, or (c) a stock fund
            holding common stock of the Company.  The

                                                                   (Continued)

            contributions can be allocated among the three
            investment choices in multiples of 25%.  The investment
            shares can be changed as of any January 1 or July 1. 
            In addition, prior contributions invested in the fixed
            income fund may be moved to the balanced investments,
            and vice versa.  However, prior contributions may not
            be moved from or to the fund holding Willamette
            Industries, Inc. common stock.  

            Participating companies' contributions for the years
            ended December 30, 1993 and 1992 were as follows:

                                                ===========       ==========


            On December 31, 1992, Penntech Papers, Inc. was merged
            into Willamette Industries, Inc.
      
      (c)   Participant Accounts

            Each participant's account is credited with the
            participant's and employer contributions and an
            allocation of Plan earnings.  Allocations are
            based on participant earnings and account
            balances, as defined in the Plan.  
      
      (d)   Vesting
      
            A participant's interest in their Employee Contribution
            Account is always fully vested and is not subject to
            forfeiture.  
      
            A participant's interest in their Employer Contribution
            Account fully vests when they:  (i) attain age 65;
            (ii) complete five years of service; (iii) die, or
            (iv) become totally and permanently disabled, whichever
            comes first.  
      
            Any part of a participant's Employer Contribution
            Account which is not vested at the time employment
            terminates is forfeited when they incur five 
                                                                   (continued)

                         Notes to Financial Statements


            consecutive one-year periods of severance.  A
            participant with less than a 100% vested interest in
            their Employer Contribution Account who voluntarily
            withdraws from the Plan does not forfeit the remainder
            of the account merely by reason of withdrawal; the
            vested percentage in the remainder continues to
            increase in accordance with their years of service.  
      
            If there is a complete discontinuance of contributions
            to the Plan by an employer, then all participants
            employed by such employer become fully vested in their
            Employer Contribution Accounts.  

      (e)   Forfeitures

            An employer's contribution is reduced by an amount
            equal to the forfeiture of participants employed by
            that employer.  The forfeitures are allocated among the
            other participants employed by that employer in
            proportion to their contributions.  In 1985, the Plan
            was amended so that a forfeiture of the account shall
            be deemed to occur as of the close of the plan year in
            which the participant incurs five consecutive one-year
            periods of severance.  The 1993 employer's contribution
            has been reduced by $112,676 as a result of
            forfeitures.  
      
            There are approximately 35,600 shares of Company stock
            subject to forfeiture relating to terminated employees
            as of December 30, 1993.  
      
      (f)   Withdrawals

      The Plan provides for participants, during their
      employment, to seek a withdrawal based upon financial
      hardship as determined by the Plan Administrator in
      accordance with Federal guidelines.  A participant
      whose employment terminates for any reason is entitled
      to a lump sum distribution of the vested portion of
      their account.  
      
(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
      
      (a)   Basis of Accounting

            The Plan prepares its financial statements on the
            accrual basis of accounting in accordance with
            generally accepted accounting principles.  




                                                                   (Continued)

                         Notes to Financial Statements


      (b)   Valuation of Investments

            The investments of the Plan are administered by
            First Interstate Bank of Oregon.  Assets are
            invested in mutual funds (Balanced Fund II), a
            common fund (Bankers Guaranteed Investment
            Contract (GIC) Fund) and Willamette Industries,
            Inc. common stock.  The Balanced Fund II mutual
            fund is valued at quoted market prices, while the
            Bankers GIC Fund is recorded at contract value.

            Willamette Industries, Inc. common stock is valued at
            the quoted market price with all purchases and sales
            recorded on a trade-date basis.  Short-term and
            temporary investments (including money market funds)
            are valued at cost, which approximates market.  
      
      (c)   Expenses of the Plan
      
            All expenses incurred in the administration of the
            Plan, including legal fees, accounting fees, Trustee's
            fees and other charges of the plan are charged to and
            paid by the plan sponsor.  
            
      (d)   Reclassifications

            Certain amounts for 1992 have been reclassified to
            conform with the 1993 presentation.  
      
(3)   Plan Termination
      
      The Board of Directors of the Company have reserved the
      right to amend or terminate the Plan.  A participating
      employer may also terminate the Plan at any time with
      respect to its employees.  No amendment may reduce the
      accrued benefits of any participant or give an employer any
      interest in the trust assets of the Plan.  In the event of
      termination of the Plan, a participant with respect to whom
      the Plan has been terminated becomes fully vested in his
      Employer Contribution Account.  
      
(4) Income Taxes
      
      The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on
      March 21, 1990, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated
      that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the
      applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  This
      ruling does not reflect the most recent Plan amendments.  


                                                                   (Continued)

                   Willamette Industries Stock Purchase Plan

                         Notes to Financial Statements

      The plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel are
      currently reviewing the Plan to determine whether the Plan
      is designed and being operated in compliance with the
      requirements of the Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a) and
      the related trust is exempt under Internal Revenue Code
      Section 501(a).  If the Plan is not in compliance, the
      Company intends to take corrective actions to meet the
      requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  
      
      Amounts contributed to the Plan by the employer are not
      taxed to the employee until distribution upon retirement or
      other termination.  Employee after-tax contributions are
      taxable in the year made but not upon distribution. 
      Employees may elect to make pre-tax contributions which are
      not included in the employee's current earnings for federal
      income tax purposes, but rather are taxable upon distribu-
      tion.  Any increase in the value of common stock distributed
      is taxable to the employee when the stock is sold. 

(5)   Transfers From Other Plans
      
      The sponsor of the Bohemia Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing
      Plan was acquired by the Plan's sponsor during 1991. 
      As a result, the Bohemia Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing
      Plan was terminated on December 31, 1991, and effective
      January 1, 1992 certain amounts from this plan were
      transferred to the Willamette Industries Stock Purchase
      Plan.  Approximately $2.5 million and $2.4 million was
      transferred to the Plan's balanced investment fund and
      fixed income fund, respectively in 1992.  Transfers
      from other plans in 1993 resulted from hourly employees
      becoming salaried employees.  
      
(6)   Subsequent Events
      
      Effective January 1, 1994, the Balanced Fund II and
      Bankers Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund managed by
      First Interstate Bank of Oregon have been discontinued
      and replaced by the following:
      
               Fund                        Manager
                 ____                        _______

            Stable Asset Fund (GIC)                Morley Capital
            Balanced Fund                          Fidelity
            Equity Fund                            Fidelity

      Participant accounts in the previous funds were
      reallocated to these new funds based on participant
      election.  
      
      Effective January 1, 1994, the maximum contribution limit
      was increased to 7% of eligible salary.  The Company will
      continue to match each participant's contribution up to 6%.
