leased under bond. (F. & D. No. 18676. I. S. Nos. 20091-v, 20092-v. 
S. No. W-1509.)
On May 16, 1924, the United States attorney for the Eastern 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 praying the seizure 
and condemnation of 1,000 cases of canned salmon, at Spokane, Wash., con- 
signed by the Canadian Bank of Commerce, Seattle, Wash., alleging that the 
article had been shipped from Alaska during the month of September, 1923, 
and transported from the Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington, 
and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act.   The article
was labeled in part:  (Can)  " Blanchard Brand Alaska Pink Salmon Packed 
By Beauclaire Packing Co. Port Beauclerc, Alaska.    One Pound Net."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On August 19, 1924, the Beauclaire Packing Co., claimant, having admitted 
the allegations of the libel and consented to the entry of a decree, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be released to the said claimant upon payment of the costs of 
the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of $1,000, in conformity 
with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the product be sorted under 
the supervision of this department, the good portion released and the remainder 
disposed of in accordance with law.
W. M. jAftpiNE, Secretary of Agriculture.
