SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration (Boise Cascade Corporation, Common Stock, $2.50 Par 
Value; Associated Common Stock Purchase Rights); File No. 1-5057

December 10, 1998.
    Boise Cascade Corporate (``Company'') has filed an application with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 
12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
securities (``Securities'') from listing and registration on the 
Pacific Exchange, Inc. (``PCX'' or ``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Securities 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Securities of the Company are currently listed on the New York 
Stock Exchange (``NYSE''), Chicago Stock Exchange (``CHX''), and PCX. 
The Company's Securities first traded on the PCX in 1965. Currently, 
the number of shares traded through the PCX is minimal, and has been 
declining over the last several years.
    As part of an overall business review, the Company's management and 
Board of Directors considered the manner in which its stock is traded 
in the marketplace. The Company found the majority (well over 90%) of 
its Securities are traded on the NYSE. After considering many factors, 
the Company's management and Board of Directors determined that no 
significant business reasons exist for the Company to continue listing 
its Securities on the PCX. The Company intends to maintain its listing 
on the NYSE.
    In compliance with the Exchange's rules, the Company sent the PCX a 
letter requesting voluntary delisting. The letter set out the basis for 
the Company's decision to delist, and provided a certified copy of the 
Board resolution authorizing this action.
    On November 3, 1998, the Equity Listings Committee of the PCX 
approved the Company's request to be removed from listing and 
registration on the Exchange.
    This application relates solely to the withdrawal from listing of 
the Company's Securities from the PCX and shall have no effect upon the 
continued listing of the Securities on the NYSE or the CHX.
    Any interested person may, on or before January 4, 1999, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
Exchange and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
