is the second largest monthly total

II is indicated that Miami during the

pared with S4.56 per share the previous
year Miamis costs in 1916 were about
9l5 cents per pound. as compared with
SIC cents per pound in the previous
year This increase is slight when
it is considered that Miami in the past
year paid IS a day to its employees as
compared with $3.50 in 1914 and 1915.
1t is evident that operating costs have
been reduced in other quarters chief of
which is change in mining methods
and in the handling of n larger tonnage

 Czar Nicholas signed the formal abdication ot the RomanofS from the throne behalf of himself and the heir apparent on Thursday.
 Grand Duke Michael oldest brother of the czar, who was indicated as regent when the attempted to ab dcate in favor of his son. himself abdicated yesterday thus bringing the Romanotf dynasty to an end
 Prior to his final abdicatiOn on behalf of himself ano the heir apparent after his first attempt to save the dynasty had failed Czar Nicholas transferred supreme command of the armies of Russia back to the Grand Duke Nicholas in an effort to regain favor but even that was not sufficient to save the throne for his son. It was the re- mova of the grand duke from command by the pro-Ger man ministry which started the movement eliminating the revolution

 ON CHANNEL
U. s. R. k. to Clear Mouth of Lowell Creek; Longer
 Cut Possible

To clear the channel of Lowell creek at the mouth and under the U. S. railroad trestle a steam shovel will be brought into action Monday and a deep cut made below the tracks.
 During the fall freshets so much gravel was brought down the channel under the trestle it was completely filled and if allowed to remain the water would probably run over the track during the early thaws.
 When the matter was brought to the attention of Acting Mayor Sauers this morning he stated that the coun- cil would take the matter up at the Monday night meeting of the council and would probably petition the com mission to continue the cut up Lowell creek to the Fifth avenue bridge. This cut would greatly simplify the matter of keeping the water under control during the coming summer, and with q few small wing dams at street intersections above, the stream can be prevented from under-cutting private property during the freshets

The riot on Broadway in the vicin- ity of the Seward Pharmacy this af- ternoon, which was finally quelled by Chief of Police Guest, Acting Deputy U. S. Marshal Weaver, aided by a posse" of citizens sworn in by Com missioner Ennis, resulted shortly af- ter those arriving on the special train from points out the line, reached the business center.
 It was a most serious affair for a time and when reports had circulated that war had been declared and the town was being footed by the Sim Feiners, in honor of the Seventeenth of Ireland, the possibility of calling for the soldiers on guard at Anchor age was taken up with the captain by direct wire.
 These reports were disproved in time. however, and the use or the army made unnecessary when the management finally agreed to sel! IS. R. O." tickets to those arriving too late for reserved seat to see the Second Annual Arctic Brotherhood MinstrelS."
 Had you guessing for minute, didn't it?
 We'll, you'll do lot more guessing if you overlook getting a reserved seat until after 6 o'clock this even ing because there will be none sold after that hour.
