POWER OF ATTORNEY

Know all men by these presents that I, Stuart Carlson, hereby make, constitute

and appoint Sherri L. Craker and Scott P. Doescher, and each of them, as my

true and lawful attorneys-in-fact, on my behalf, and in my name, place and

stead, to execute any and all forms or documents which at any time are required

to be filed by me with the Securities and Exchange Commission by reason of my

position as an officer and/or a director of Wausau-Mosinee Paper Corporation

pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated under Section 16 of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This power of attorney revokes and supersedes

any power of attorney previously given by me for such purpose and shall remain

in effect for such period of time as I have a reporting obligation pursuant to

said Section 16 by reason of my position as an officer and/or a director of

Wausau-Mosinee Paper Corporation unless revoked by me.
