?On September 8, 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 381 cases of canned salmon, remaining in 
the original unbroken packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article 
had been shipped by the Hidden Inlet Canning Co., from Hood Bay, Alaska, 
August 18, 1924, 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) " Steamboat Brand Alaska Pink 
Salmon Packed by Hidden Inlet Canning Co. Main Office: Seattle, Wash."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal sub- 
stance.

-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, upon payment of the costs of 
the proceedings, the product be released to the Oregon State Fish Commis- 
sion to be used for fish food.
