Almost Starved on Island Near New Meadows River
A fisherman reports two families totaling eleven people on a remote island near New Meadows River, twenty five miles from Portland, nearly starved after their boat was swept away in a storm. With provisions gone, a year old boy grew severely malnourished until the men built a raft to reach Malaga Island eight miles distant for aid and a new boat and supplies.

Hens Bust Egg Trust as Prices Plummet
The egg market collapses as a sprung spring forecast drives hens to lay heavily. Prices tumble across the board with the Western egg trust losing over 7 million dollars and the Boston trust about 70 thousand. Speculators face eggs costing 18 to 12 cents a dozen in storage while fresh Chicago eggs sell for 8 to 9 cents. About 63 million last year’s cold storage eggs have no market.
