Item 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         Pursuant to Rule 13-2(a) of Regulation 13D-G of the General Rules and
Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"),
the undersigned hereby amend their Statement on Schedule 13D, dated March 10,
1997 (the "Schedule 13D"), relating to shares of common stock, par value $0.50
per share (the "Common Stock"), of Cascade Corporation, an Oregon corporation
("Issuer"). This Statement constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D.
Unless otherwise indicated herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have
the same meanings respectively ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Unless
otherwise indicated herein, there are no material changes to the information set
forth in the Schedule 13D.

         The principal executive offices of Issuer are located at 2201 N.E.
201st Avenue, Fairview, Oregon 97024.

Item 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:

         This amended schedule is being filed by the following persons each of
whom are Trustees of the Robert C. and Nani S. Warren Revocable Trust (Trust), a
trust organized under the laws of the State of Washington, which holds 1,631,192
shares of common stock of the Issuer. The Trustees are filing this Amendment
because, as described in Item 4 below, on July 5, 2000, the Trust entered into a
Letter of Understanding with CHS Oregon Acquisition Corp. (Acquisition
Corp.), a Delaware Corporation, Code, Hennessy & Simmons IV L.P. (CHS IV), a
Delaware limited partnership, and Robert C. Warren, Richard S. Anderson, and
Terry H. Cathey individually (Management) which is attached to this filing as
Exhibit 2. Among other provisions, the Letter of Understanding (a) requires
that the Trust not engage in discussions, agreements or understandings, or
participate in any business combination involving the acquisition or
disposition of equity other than as the parties may contemplate; (b) imposes
certain restrictions on transfers of shares of the Issuer by the Trust;
(c)requires that shares of the Issuer owned by the Trust be voted in favor of
transactions contemplated by the parties which may require approval of the
Issuer's shareholders; and (d) requires the Trust not to enter into
inconsistent arrangements or agreements.

         The Trust, together with Management and Acquisition Corp., CHS IV, and
certain persons related to Acquisition Corp. and CHS IV, may be deemed to
constitute a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. Neither
the present filing nor anything contained herein shall be construed as (i) an
admission that the Trust, together with any of the Management Acquisition Corp.,
CHS IV, or persons related to Acquisition Corp or CHS IV, constitute a "person"
or "group" for any purpose or (ii) an admission that the Trust is, for the
purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, beneficial owners of any of the
securities owned by any party other than the Trust itself. Pursuant to Rule
13d-1(k)(2) under the Act, the Trust and Trustees are filing this Amendment to
Schedule 13D on their own behalf and not on behalf of any other person. Attached
hereto as Exhibit 1 is the statement made pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1)(iii) of
Regulation 13D-G of the General Rules and Regulations under the Act.

(a) (b) and (c)

and restated in its entirety as follows:

         The Trustees acquired the shares owned by the Trust March 10, 1997,
when they accepted designation as Trustees of the Robert C. and Nani S.
Warren Revocable Trust.

Item 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION, is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:

         As described in the Letter of Understanding, Acquisition Corp.
intends to propose a Transaction pursuant to which the stockholders of the
Issuer, other than Management and the Trust with respect to


                                       8
<PAGE>

certain shares, would receive cash for their outstanding shares of Issuer
common stock (as well as options, warrants or other rights to acquire Issuer
common stock). Management would contribute their Issuer Common Stock into
Acquisition Corp. in exchange for equity in Acquisition Corp. The Trust would
contribute a significant portion of its Issuer Common Stock into Acquisition
Corp. in exchange for equity in Acquisition Corp. In connection with the
Transaction, the Issuer would become wholly-owned by Acquisition Corp.,
delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and deregistered under the Act.

         As an inducement for CHS IV and Acquisition Corp. to enter into the
Letter of Understanding, Management and the Trust agreed (i) to voting
agreements and restrictions on transfer described in Item 3 above, (ii) that
CHS IV and Management would reasonably cooperate in jointly proposing the
terms and conditions of the Transaction to the Issuer's directors, and (iii)
to use good faith in drafting and negotiating the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction.

         As noted in the Letter of Understanding, except for the provisions
noted in this Item 4 regarding exclusivity, the agreement to vote and
submission to the Issuer's board of directors, as well as certain other
provisions regarding confidentiality, the bearing of costs, and matters
concerning governing law and attorneys fees, the terms of the Letter of
Understanding are nonbinding. A definitive Transaction will require the
negotiation of the economic terms of and legal documentation regarding the
Transaction (which would include customary covenants, representations,
warranties, conditions and other provisions normal to such documentation),
the securing of financing arrangements and the completion of due diligence of
the Issuer by Acquisition Corp. Any transaction would also be subject to a
number of conditions, which would most likely include stockholder approval.
There is no assurance that the Transaction will be consummated.

         Other than as described in this Item 4, the Trust does not have, and
the Trustees have been informed by Management, Acquisition Corp., CHS IV, and
the other individuals identified in Item 2 to this Schedule 13D that none of
them have, any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of
the matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule
13D (although they reserve the right to develop such plans).

         The information set forth in this Item 4 is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Letter of Understanding which is attached hereto
as Exhibit 2 and expressly incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER, is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety as follows:

     Each of the calculations in this Item 5 are based on 12,239,890 shares of
Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2000, as reported in the Issuer's most
recent Schedule 14A, plus the issuance of 77,315 shares upon exercise of options
by Management. As of April 30, 2000, 11,439,890 shares of Common Stock and one
special voting share were outstanding. The share totals and percentage
calculations below assume the conversion of 800,000 outstanding exchangeable
shares issued by an Issuer subsidiary into a like number of shares of Common
Stock. TD Trust Company holds the special voting share as trustee exchangeable
shares and is entitled to cast 800,000 votes on matters presented to
stockholders.

     Solely by virtue of the matters described in Item 4 above as a result of
its entry into the Letter of Understanding, the Trustees, together with
Management, Acquisition Corp. and CHS IV, and the other individuals identified
in Item 2, may be deemed to constitute a group within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) of the Act and the Trustees may be deemed to have acquired beneficial
ownership of the shares of Common Stock owned or deemed beneficially owned by
the other parties. The Trustees disclaim beneficial ownership of any such shares
of Common Stock.
