On March 18, 1920, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and
condemnation of 1,660 cases labeled "2300 1-Lb. Tails Plain Tops Paraffine 
Liner Columbia Salmon Co.," remaining in the original unbroken packages at 
Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped by the Columbia Sal- 
mon Co., from Tenakee Inlet, Alaska, November 24, 1919, and transported from 
the Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington, and charging adultera- 
tion in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy and decomposed animal substance.
On August 14, 1920, the Columbia Salmon Co., Seattle, Wash., claimant, hav- 
ing admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to a decree, 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by 
the court that, upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution 
of a bond in the sum of $S,000, in conformity with section 10 of the act, con- 
ditioned in part that the product be sorted under the supervision of this depart- 
ment, the bad portion thereof be destroyed and the good portion be released to 
said claimant.
