         NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (Unaudited)



1.    The  accompanying unaudited interim financial statements for 1993
      have  been  restated to reflect revisions in the market valuation  of
      certain financial instruments.  The Company previously accounted  for
      certain  interest rate swap agreements based on settlement accounting
      but  has  now  determined  that  settlement  accounting  was  not  an
      appropriate  accounting method.  As a result, these instruments  have
      been marked to market at the end of each quarter. Further information
      on this restatement can be obtained from the Company's Annual Report on
      Form 10-K, as amended,  for the fiscal year ended January 1, 1994.  The
      effects of the restatement on the Company's financial results are  as
      follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

2.    In  the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim
      financial  statements reflect all adjustments, of a normal  recurring
      nature, necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods
      presented.

3.    Net income (loss) used in the computation of earnings (loss)  per
      common  share  assuming no dilution is reduced by preferred  dividend
      requirements.  Earnings (loss) per common share assuming full dilution
      for  both  periods of 1994 excludes the conversion of  the  Company's
      $2.875  convertible  preferred stock as the effect  is  antidilutive.
      Earnings  (loss)  per common share assuming full  dilution  for  both
      periods  of 1993 excludes the conversion of the Company's convertible

      antidilutive.

4.    The  third  quarter 1994 dividend was declared on September 19,
      1994  and  is  presented  in the accompanying Condensed  Consolidated
      Statement of Income for presentation purposes only.

5.    The 1994 provision for income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated
      Statement of Income includes a favorable adjustment of $3.2 million due
      to  the settlement of prior year tax audits.   The 1993 provision for
      income taxes includes a charge of $9.2 million due to the change in the
      Federal  statutory tax rate.  The overall effective tax rate for  the
      thirty-six  weeks  ended September 10, 1994 was 29.6%.   The  overall
      effective  tax  rate  for  the full year  1994  is  estimated  to  be
      approximately 34.2%.
      
6.    The  Company manages certain portions of its exposure to  foreign
      currency fluctuations through a variety of financial  instruments 
      with off-balance-sheet market  risk  including foreign currency option 
      and foreign currency forward contracts.   The risk  of loss to the 
      Company in the event of non-performance  by  any party under these 
      agreements is not significant. The Company has sold certain  foreign  
      exchange contracts.  The sold  nonhedged  contracts outstanding  at 
      September 10, 1994 were foreign currency call  option contracts  with  
      notional amounts of  41.4 million U.S.  dollars  and foreign currency 
      put option contracts with notional amounts of 20.0 million  U.S. 
      dollars and 54.6 million German marks. The Company  has also  purchased  
      certain foreign exchange contracts.   The  purchased nonhedged  
      contracts outstanding at September 10, 1994  were  foreign currency 
      call option contracts with notional amounts of 51.7  million U.S.  
      dollars and 55.1 million German marks and foreign currency  put option  
      contracts with notional amounts of 39.4 million U.S. dollars.  The  
      Company's  market risk under the agreements discussed  above  is 
      subject  to currency rate differentials therefore, the value  of  the
      Company's  instruments  change  as currency  markets  fluctuate.   In
      addition,  at  September 10, 1994, the Company had nonhedged  forward
      foreign exchange contracts outstanding which it had sold with notional
      amounts of 15.0 million U.S. dollars in which the Company's market risk
      is subject to currency rate changes of the British pound sterling and
      the German mark, along with changes in U.S. and German interest rates.
      The estimated fair value of all nonhedged foreign exchange instruments
      at September 10, 1994 was a loss of  $12.1 million.  The Company does
      not believe any reasonably likely change in the estimated fair value of
      these  contracts  would  be material to its financial  condition  and
      results of operations.

7.    The  Company  has  entered into a variety of interest  rate  swap
      agreements  to  manage the impact of interest rate  fluctuations.  At
      September  10,  1994, the Company had nonhedged  interest  rate  swap
      agreements  outstanding  with notional principal  amounts  of  $340.0
      million.  The Company's market risk under these agreements is primarily
      subject  to changes in the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)  and
      various  interest  rate  spreads.  The Company  does  not  believe  a
      reasonably likely change in LIBOR rates would have a material impact on
      its financial position and results of operations.  The estimated fair
      value of these interest rate swap agreements at September 10, 1994 was
      a loss of $17.8 million.

8.    Effective  January  2,  1994, the Company  adopted  Statement  of
      Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112, "Employers' Accounting
      for  Postemployment Benefits".  SFAS No. 112 requires the Company  to
      accrue  for  postemployment benefits provided to former  or  inactive
      employees, their beneficiaries and covered dependents after employment
      but before retirement.  The impact of adopting this Statement was not
      material to the Company's financial position and results of operations
      for the thirty-six weeks ended September 10, 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS :

Paper, Paperboard and Pulp

Results  for  this  segment were higher for both  sales  and  operating
profits  for  both periods presented compared to the prior  year.   Net
sales of paper, paperboard and pulp increased approximately 16% and  6%
compared  to  the  prior  year for the third quarter  and  year-to-date
periods, respectively.  The increase in sales during the third  quarter
was  primarily  due  to an increase in the average  selling  prices  of
market  pulp  and  uncoated  free-sheet paper  coupled  with  increased
shipments of paperboard and uncoated free-sheet paper, partially offset
by  a decline in shipments of market pulp and average selling prices of
paperboard.   The  year-to-date  period  was  influenced  by  the  same
factors,  except that shipments of market pulp increased on  a  year-to-
date basis compared to the prior year.

Operating   profits   for   paper,  paperboard   and   pulp   increased
approximately  101%  and 6% compared to the prior year  for  the  third
quarter  and  year-to-date periods, respectively.  Third  quarter  1994
operating profits reflect an improvement in overall economic conditions
in  the United States and Europe. On a year-to-date basis, the increase
in  operating profits for 1994 compared to the prior year  reflects  an
improvement in economic conditions, partially offset by adverse factors
which  occurred during the first quarter of this year.   These  factors
included  weaknesses  in  certain segments of the  bleached  paperboard
market,  weather related factors and operating problems which  resulted
in lost production and higher costs at our major mills.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (Cont.)

Operating  results  for  market pulp increased substantially  over  the
prior year reflecting price increases which were implemented during the
first   three  quarters  of  1994.   This  product  line  returned   to
profitability  during the third quarter and another price  increase  is
scheduled to be implemented during the fourth quarter of 1994.   Demand
for  market  pulp has been improving with shipments through  the  third
quarter  of 1994 increasing 6% over the comparable period of the  prior
year.

The bleached paperboard market strengthened during the quarter with  an
improvement in order backlogs.  Due to improving market conditions, the
Company implemented a price increase on most of its bleached paperboard
grades  during the third quarter of 1994.   For the year-to-date period
of  1994,  the  grade  mix has begun to change  towards  higher  margin
paperboard.    Operating  results,  despite  these   improving   market
conditions,  remained  below the prior year due  to  decreased  average
selling  prices in 1994 compared to the same period of the prior  year.
However,  the outlook for the remainder of 1994 is favorable  for  this
product.

Operating  profits  for  the  Company's uncoated  free-sheet  operation
improved significantly compared to the prior year for the third quarter
and  year-to-date periods.  A combination of improved  average  selling
prices  and increased shipments in 1994 has increased profits for  this
product.  Improved market conditions for this product have enabled  the
Company  to  implement four price increases through the third  quarter,
with a further improvement in prices expected in the fourth quarter.

Operating profits for recycled paperboard decreased 12% and 40% for the
year-to-date period and third quarter, respectively.   The decreases in
operating  profits for the year-to-date and third quarter  periods  are
primarily attributable to a 5% decline in the average selling price  of
recycled  paperboard  compared  to the  prior  year  for  both  periods
presented coupled with an increase in wastepaper costs compared to  the
prior year.


Wood Products

The  wood  products  segment achieved higher net  sales  and  operating
profits  for  the  third  quarter  and  year-to-date  periods.   Market
conditions  for  lumber have continued to be favorable  in  1994,  with
average selling prices increasing approximately 20% and 12% compared to
the  prior  year  for  the  third  quarter  and  year-to-date  periods,
respectively.  The increase in selling price is primarily  attributable
to  the  reduced availability of timber from government-owned lands  in
the   Pacific   Northwest  and  from  unfavorable  weather   conditions
experienced  throughout  the  country in  the  earlier  part  of  1994.
Shipments  of this product have increased approximately 3% compared  to
the prior year for both the third quarter and year-to-date periods.

Converting Operations

Net sales for the converting operations increased 7% and 4% compared to
the  prior  year  for  the  third  quarter  and  year-to-date  periods,
respectively.  The increase in the third quarter is attributable to  an
increase  in  sales by both the Company's cup and packaging operations.
Shipments  of  cups  increased 3% while shipments  of  folding  cartons
increased 35% in the third quarter compared to the prior year.  Year-to-
date,  the  increase  in  net  sales is primarily  attributable  to  an
increase in sales by the Company's cup operations compared to the prior
year  reflecting an increase in shipments of 9%. Lower average  selling
prices  for cups in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of  1994
compared to the prior year partially offset the sales increases.

Operating  profits for this segment increased 18% and 65%  compared  to
the  prior  year  for  the  third  quarter  and  year-to-date  periods,
respectively.   The major factor contributing to the increase  for  the
third quarter is improved earnings from the packaging operations, as  a
result  of increased sales in the third quarter of 1994 as compared  to
the  prior  year.  The  major factor contributing to  the  year-to-date
increase is improved earnings from the cup operations.  Improved  sales
coupled with cost savings realized in 1994, for the cup operations, are
responsible for the increase in year-to-date earnings compared  to  the
prior  year.  The cost savings realized by the Company's cup operations
in  1994 can be attributed to a reduction in payroll expense due  to  a
salaried payroll headcount reduction; the addition of new machinery  to
these  operations which have added to production efficiencies  and  the
increased  use  of  technology which requires fewer employees  than  in
prior years.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for  the third quarter of 1994 was 2% higher than  the
same  period last year.  The major factors contributing to the increase
in  interest expense for the third quarter were decreased savings  from
the  Company's  interest rate swap agreements, partially  offset  by  a
higher  level of capitalized interest.  Interest expense for the  third
quarter  of  1994  and 1993 includes $.2 million and  $1.0  million  of
savings,   respectively,  from  the  Company's   interest   rate   swap
agreements.  Year-to-date interest expense decreased 2% compared to the
prior  year.    The  major factors contributing to the decreased  costs
were  a reduction in the average borrowings outstanding in 1994  and  a
higher  level  of capitalized interest, partially offset  by  decreased
savings  from the Company's interest rate swap agreements.  Capitalized
interest  increased significantly compared to the  prior  year  due  to
higher   capital   spending   on  projects  qualifying   for   interest
capitalization. Year-to-date, the interest savings from  the  Company's
interest  rate  swap  agreements was $1.0  million  and  $4.2  million,
respectively.

Other Items

The   Company   enters   into  nonhedged  off-balance-sheet   financial
instrument  transactions.  The value of these  instruments  changes  as
currency  markets and interest rates fluctuate, therefore an adjustment
of the market value is recorded.  In the third quarter of both 1994 and
1993,  pre-tax  charges  of $3.7 million were  recorded  associated  to
nonhedged  financial instrument transactions. On a year-to-date  basis,
these  costs  were $19.4 million and $29.8 million for 1994  and  1993,
respectively.   These  charges  are  included  in  Other-net   in   the
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

Income Taxes

The  1994  provision  for income taxes includes  a  favorable  non-cash
adjustment of $3.2 million which was recorded due to the settlement  of
prior  year  tax audits. During the third quarter of 1993, the  Company
recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $9.3 million as a result of
the  change  in the Federal statutory tax rate from 34%  to  35%.  This
charge  includes  the  cumulative recalculation  of  the  deferred  tax
liability  under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  No.  109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which bases future taxes on the  current
statutory rate.   The overall effective tax rate for the full year 1994
is expected to be approximately 34.2%.

Accounting Matters

Effective January 2 ,1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112 "Employers'
Accounting  for Postemployment Benefits".  The impact of adopting  this
Statement,  in  1994,  was  not material  to  the  Company's  financial
position and results of operations.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY :

Cash  provided  by  operations declined 9% compared to  the  comparable
period  of the prior year.  The reasons for this decline were  a  lower
deferred  income tax provision partially offset by increased  operating
earnings  in 1994 and a change in working capital in the current  year.
The  deferred  income  tax  provision for  1994  includes  a  favorable
adjustment  of  $3.2 million due to the settlement of  prior  year  tax
audits.   The deferred income tax provision for 1993 includes a  charge
of  $9.2 million due to the recalculation of the deferred tax liability
due  to  an  increase  in the Federal statutory tax  rate.   The  major
changes  within the components of working capital were an  increase  in
receivables  in  1994 slightly offset by a decrease in  1994  inventory
levels.   The increase in receivables for 1994 is primarily due  to  an
increase  in  sales.   Improving market  conditions  for  most  of  the
Company's  product  lines have caused a reduction in  inventory  levels
from the end of the prior year.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (Cont.)

Cash  used for investing activities decreased approximately 2% compared
to  the  prior year.  In both periods presented, the majority  of  cash
used  for  investing  activities was related to  capital  expenditures.
Capital  spending  in  1994  and 1993 was predominantly  related  to  a
program  to expand and modernize the No. 18 paperboard machine  at  the
Riegelwood  mill.    Capital  spending in 1994  also  includes  amounts
related  to  the construction of a new warehouse for the Company's  cup
operations.   The  Company  expects  capital  expenditures   to   total
approximately $160 million for the year.

The   Company  believes  it  has  adequate  resources  to  finance  its
operations  and  future capital spending programs.  The  Company  is  a
party to two revolving credit agreements with total commitments of $300
million.   At  September  10, 1994, $80 million was  outstanding  under
these  agreements.  In addition, the Company has $75 million  remaining
under a previously filed shelf registration statement which can be used
for future debt financings.

Future Outlook:

The outlook for the remainder of 1994 is for continued improvement in
market conditions for our major product lines.   Selling price
increases that have been implemented for our market pulp and uncoated
free-sheet paper products have enabled the Company to improve
profitability in the third quarter.  Future price increases scheduled
for the fourth quarter for market pulp should improve profitability
further for the Company.
