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, 1994
and 1993, 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, 1994 and 1993, 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, 1994 and 1993

(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
              -------------

              Effective December 31, 1993, eligible employees of Willamette
              Industries, Inc. (the Company) and its participating
              subsidiaries may contribute up to 7% of their regular monthly
              gross cash earnings as established on January 1 of each year. 
              Previously, the maximum contribution was 6%.  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 Stable Asset Fund (previously called the
              Fixed Income Fund) holding primarily guaranteed investment
              contracts (GIC's), (b) a Balanced Fund holding primarily stocks
              and bonds (mutual fund company changed in 1994), (c) an Equity
              Fund (new in 1994) holding primarily stocks, or (d) a
              Willamette Stock Fund holding common stock of the Company.  The
              contributions can be allocated among the four investment
              choices in multiples of 5%.  In addition, reallocation between
              investment choices is allowed quarterly.  For instance, prior
              contributions invested in the Stable Asset Fund may be moved to
              the Balanced, Equity or Willamette Stock Fund, and vice versa.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

     Participating companies' contributions for the years ended December 30,
     1994 and 1993 were as follows:
     
                                              1994             1993
                                              ----             ----       

         Willamette Industries, Inc.     $14,621,030       12,811,496
         Wimer Logging Co.                    46,036           44,160
         Bohemia Inc.                           -             478,648
                                           ----------       ----------
              Total                      $14,667,066       13,334,304
                                           ==========       ==========

     On December 31, 1993, Bohemia 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 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.  Each
         participant who is vested in their Employer Contribution Account can
         elect to have any or all of their respective Employer Contribution
         Account funds diversified into one or more of the available elective
         investment funds (other than the Willamette Stock Fund).  This
         diversification election applies only to their then existing
         Employer Contribution Account.  Future matching contributions will
         be invested in common stock of the Company.  A participant can make
         more than one diversification election, but a subsequent election
         can be made only after a period of at least 10 years has elapsed
         since the most recent election.

                   Willamette Industries Stock Purchase Plan

                         Notes to Financial Statements

     (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 1994
         employer's contribution has been reduced by $37,415 as a result of
         forfeitures.  
     
         There are approximately 41,485 shares of Company stock subject to
         forfeiture relating to terminated employees as of December 30, 1994. 
         
     
     (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.  
     
     (b) Valuation of Investments
         ------------------------

         First Interstate Bank of Oregon acts as trustee and recordkeeper for
         the Plan.  Assets are invested in mutual funds (Balanced Fund and
         Equity Fund), Stable Asset Fund (a common fund which includes GIC's)
         and Willamette Industries, Inc. common stock.  The Balanced Fund and
         Equity Fund mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, while
         the Stable Asset 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
         --------------------

         Substantially 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.

                   Willamette Industries Stock Purchase Plan

                         Notes to Financial Statements

     (d) Reclassifications
         -----------------

         Certain amounts for 1993 have been reclassified to conform with the
         1994 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.  The Plan administrator has requested a determination
     letter from the Internal Revenue Service reflecting amendments to the
     Plan since obtaining the last determination letter.  If the Plan were
     not in compliance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
     Section 401(a) and the related trust were not exempt under Internal
     Revenue Code Section 501(a), the Company would 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 distribution.  Any increase in the value of common
     stock distributed is taxable to the employee when the stock is
     sold. 
     
(5)  Transfers From/To Other Plans
     -----------------------------

     Transfers from other plans in 1994 and 1993 resulted from hourly
     employees becoming salaried employees.  Transfers to other plans
     relate to terminated employees rolling their investments into other
     plans.
