On August 20, 1924, 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 praying the seizure 
and condemnation of 760 cases of salmon, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Seattle. Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped by the 
Alaska Consolidated Canneries, from Tenake, Alaska, June 20, 1924, and trax)s- 
ported from the Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington, and charg- 
ing adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled 
in part: (Can) "Target Brand Alaska Pink Salmon Packed In Alaska By- 
Columbia Salmon Co. Seattle, Wash."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con- 
sisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On November 21, 1924, the Alaska Consolidated Canneries, claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel and having 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 $500, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that 
the bad portion be separated from the good portion under the supervision of 
this department, and the bad portion destroyed.
