On August 20, 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 945 cases of salmon, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped by the 
Alitak Packing Co., from Alitak, Alaska, about July 19, 1926, and transported 
from the Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington, and charging 
adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated, in that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal 
substance.
On December 3, 1926, the Alitak Packing Co., Seattle, Wash., claimant, 
having admitted the material 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 upon1 payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution 
of a good and sufficient bond, conditioned in part that the good portion be 
separated from the bad portion and the latter destroyed.
W. M. JARDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
