sent   decree   of   condemnation   and   forfeiture.     Product   released 
under bond.     (F. & D. No. 21279.    I. S. No. 10707-x.    S. No. W-2008.)
On or about September 2, 1926, 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 
seizure and condemnation of 500 cases of salmon, remaining in the original 
unbroken packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped 
by the Alaska Year Round Canneries, from Seldovia, Alaska, July 26, 1926, and 
transported from the Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington, and 
charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act.
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 September 24, 1926, the Alaska Year Round Canneries Co., Inc., Seattle, 
Wash., claimant, having admitted the allegations of the libel and having con- 
sented 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 $2,000, said bond providing that the product be recon- 
ditioned by separating the good portion from the bad.
W. M. JARDINB, Secretary of Agriculture.
