The Delaware shad fishermen up the
river are nearing the end of an mn
usually successful season, and the
country is thus furnished another
striking object lesson upon the benefit
of legislating for the general good and
then enforcing the laws. While
everybods was allowed to maintain fish
traps in the Delaware, eels were about
the only fish caught, and those who
profted by catching eels constituted a
small portion of the population. With
the destruction of the fish traps and
with artificial propagation of shad the
Delaware has become a notable shad
stream for a distance of two hundred
and fifty miles, and the whole people
share the benefits of it's restoration.
