ST. HELENS, Ore. -- Boise Inc. says it will cut 325 jobs at its paper mill in St. Helens.
 
The Idaho-based company says demand is down and costs are up.
 
Boise officials said 300 of the jobs are at the mill, and another 25 are in sales, marketing and logistics.
 
 
 
In its quarterly report earlier this month, Boise said rising costs for wood fiber, energy and chemicals had hurt financial results at the mill.
 
The cuts are coming from its paper mill in St. Helens.
