    IA
This Amendment No. 7 ("Amendment") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed
on October 4, 2004, as previously amended (the "Schedule 13D") by Franklin
Mutual Advisers, LLC ("FMA"), with respect to the common stock (the "Common
Stock ") of Potlatch Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). All
capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have
the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The securities reported herein were acquired with funds of approximately $187.4
million (including brokerage commissions). All such funds were provided from
investment capital of FMA's respective advisory clients.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a-b) One or more of FMA's advisory clients is the owner of 4,477,400 shares of
the Common Stock. Investment advisory contracts with FMA's advisory clients
grant to FMA sole voting and investment discretion over the securities owned by
its advisory clients. Therefore, FMA may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule
13d-3 under the 1934 Act (the "1934 Act"), the beneficial owner of 4,477,400
shares of Common Stock.

FMA is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("FRI").
Beneficial ownership by investment advisory subsidiaries and other affiliates of
FRI is being reported in conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC
staff in Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) relating to organizations, such
as FRI, where related entities exercise voting and investment powers over the
securities being reported independently from each other. The voting and
investment powers held by FMA are exercised independently from FRI, and from all
other investment advisor subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and investment
advisor subsidiaries other than FMA are collectively referred to herein as "FRI
affiliates"). Furthermore, FMA and FRI internal policies and procedures
establish informational barriers that prevent the flow between FMA and the FRI
affiliates of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over
the securities owned by their respective advisory clients. Consequently, FMA and
the FRI affiliates are each reporting the securities over which they hold
investment and voting power separately from each other.

Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. (the "Principal Shareholders")
each own in excess of 10% of the outstanding Common Stock of FRI and are the
principal shareholders of FRI. However, FMA exercises voting and investment
powers on behalf of its advisory clients independently of FRI, the Principal
Shareholders, and their respective affiliates. Consequently, beneficial
ownership of the securities being reported by FMA is not attributed to FRI, the
Principal Shareholders, and their respective affiliates other than FMA. FMA
disclaims any economic interest or beneficial ownership in any of the securities
covered by this statement.

Furthermore, FRI, the Principal Shareholders, and their respective affiliates
including FMA, are of the view that they are not acting as a "group" for
purposes of Section 13(d) under the Act and that they are not otherwise required
to attribute to each other the "beneficial ownership" of securities held by any
of them or by any persons or entities advised by FRI subsidiaries.

(c) The following sets forth all transactions in the shares of the Common Stock
within the past sixty days.
