REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of
Boise Cascade Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying combined statements of participants'
equity and net assets available for plan benefits of the Boise Cascade
Corporation Qualified Employee Savings Trust (QUEST) as of December 31, 1993,
1992, and 1991, and the related combined statements of changes in
participants' equity and net assets available for plan benefits for the years
then ended. These financial statements and the schedules referred to below
are the responsibility of Boise Cascade Corporation. 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 signi-
ficant 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 combined financial position of the
Boise Cascade Corporation Qualified Employee Savings Trust (QUEST) as of
December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, and the combined changes in participants'
equity and net assets available for plan 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 supplemental schedules I, II,
III, IV, and V are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not
a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 and/or the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

QUALIFIED EMPLOYEE SAVINGS TRUST (QUEST)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PLAN DESCRIPTION. The Boise Cascade Corporation Qualified Employee Savings
Trust (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan and is administered by
Boise Cascade Corporation. At December 31, 1993, 1,057 U.S. nonunion hourly
employees and 64 former employees at selected locations of Boise Cascade
Corporation, its U.S. subsidiaries, and certain affiliates (collectively the
"Company") were participating in the Plan.
Participants who are employees of the Company may contribute to the Plan in
whole percentages of their compensation for each pay period. The Company's
contributions to the Plan and amounts that may be contributed by participants
vary by covered locations. In addition, amounts that participants may
contribute to the Plan are subject to limitations set forth in the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code").
The Plan provides that participants may contribute to the Plan in accordance
with Section 401(k) of the Code. These participants defer income taxes by
reducing their current taxable income for federal and most state income tax
purposes by the amount of their contributions. The contributions, including
associated net earnings on investments, become subject to taxation at the time
the participant withdraws them from the Plan (see Note 3). Participants may
also elect to contribute to the Plan without deferring income taxes on amounts
contributed. Taxation of net earnings on such contributions is deferred until
the earnings are distributed from the Plan. Participants may make pretax and
after-tax contributions. Participants' contributions are recorded in either
a "Before-Tax Contribution Account" or an "After-Tax Contribution Account" as
appropriate.
INVESTMENTS. At December 31, 1993, the Plan had investment funds consisting
of: a Fixed Income Fund that invests primarily in bank and insurance
investment contracts that provide a fixed interest rate; a Diversified Common
Stock Fund that invests primarily in mutual funds that invest in common stocks
or securities that are convertible into common stocks; and a Boise Cascade
Corporation Common Stock Fund that invests primarily in the Company's $2.50
par value common stock. Investments in these funds are made in accordance
with guidelines in the Master Trust Agreement for Defined Contribution Plans
between State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee, and the Company (the
"Trust") and are apportioned among the funds as directed by each participant.
The Plan also had a Participants' Loan Fund (see Note 2).
The following table sets forth rates of return experienced by each of the
Plan's funds for the years indicated:
Year Ended December 31

FORFEITURES. Contributions that are made by participants are fully vested
at the time they are made. Participants' interest in contributions that the
Company has made on their behalf become vested at the earlier of the time the
participant reaches age 65, or (pursuant to definitions in the Plan) the
participant has made contributions to the Plan for 36 months, or has five
years of credited service with the Company. Vesting also occurs upon the
death of the participant, if termination of employment occurs due to total
disability, or if the Company terminates the Plan. Unvested amounts that have
been forfeited will generally be restored to the participant if reemployment
occurs within a five-year period, as defined by the Plan. Forfeited Company
contributions are used to offset amounts that the Company will contribute to
the Plan in the future.
PAYMENTS TO PARTICIPANTS. The Plan pays amounts due to participants who are
withdrawing part or all of their interest in the Plan approximately 25 days
after the end of the month during which the participant informs the Plan's
administrator of his or her intention to make the withdrawal.
APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) OF INVESTMENTS. Appreciation (depreciation) of
investments in the Diversified Common Stock Fund and the Boise Cascade
Corporation Common Stock Fund are recognized based on quoted market prices.
The cost of any investments sold or distributed is based on average cost.
The following table sets forth that portion of the total net appreciation
(depreciation) that was realized through sale or distribution in each of
these funds during the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991:

_________ _________ _________

EXPENSES. The Plan provides that all expenses of administration of the Plan
may be paid out of the assets of the Plan. Expenses not paid by the Plan will
be paid by the Company. In 1993, the Company paid all administration expenses
of the Plan, except for brokerage fees and related taxes on security
transactions. Investment management fees incurred by the investment funds of
the Plan are paid from the assets of the fund to which they relate.
TRANSFERS FROM OTHER PLANS. During the year ended December 31, 1993, certain
participants transferred their account balances from other tax-qualified
profit sharing/401(k) benefit plans sponsored by previous employers into the
Plan.
2. LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS
Participants who have made contributions to the Plan pursuant to Code
Section 401(k) may, subject to the terms of the Plan, apply for loans from
the Plan secured by such contributions. Such loans do not constitute
withdrawals from the Plan. The "Investments, at current value" account in
the Combined Statements of Participants' Equity and Net Assets Available for
Plan Benefits at December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, included $1,013,296,
$652,994, and $339,964 of outstanding loans to Plan participants. The
interest rate charged on these loans was 7.5% for 1993, 8% for 1992, and 9%
for 1991. Participant loans are reflected in the Combined Statements of
Changes in Participants' Equity and Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits as
follows:

__________ __________ __________
End of the period $1,013,296 $ 652,994 $ 339,964
3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on September 22, 1989, 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. As so qualified, the Company is entitled, for federal income tax
purposes, to deduct its contributions to the trust fund up to the maximum
amount permitted by the Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the
determination letter. The Company believes that the Plan is currently
designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Company believes that the Plan
was qualified and the related trust was tax exempt as of the financial
statement date.
Under the Plan, as so qualified, the Company understands that a participant
is not subject to federal income tax on his or her share of employer contri-
butions, the appreciation thereon, or the appreciation on the participant's
contributions until these amounts are paid to the participant.
