<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mark,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I worked for Potlatch for over thirty years.
You probably don't know I retired three years ago. According to the
company and the media, the company lost millions nearly every quarter,
especially in contract years like this one. Still the company continued to
produce product and operate. I don't believe everything I read. I
truly believe a lot of it is printed merely to convince the suckers, which it
does.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for whether or not this is as important as the
immigration issue: No, I don't believe it is even close.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000> "The Pulp and Paperboard segment reported an
operating loss of $2.4 million for 2006's first quarter, versus operating
income of $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2005. "A 13 percent increase
in paperboard shipments, combined with higher selling prices for paperboard
and increased pulp shipments to external customers, were more than offset by
higher maintenance, chemical, freight and energy costs," Covey said. He added
that energy expense, including natural gas, was $2.0 million higher than in
the first quarter of 2005. "</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So Dick, now that the mills are separate from the land and timber in a
very real way due to the REIT conversion, how long can money losing divisions
like pulp and paper last? Seems like this is a much larger question for folks
in the Valley than immigration.</DIV>
