District of Alaska, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court an information against Andrew S. Day, trading as North 
Pacific Sea Foods, at Valdez, Alaska, alleging shipment by said defendant in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act in various consignments on or about Au- 
gust 16, August 23, September 19, and September 28, 1936, from Dayville, Alaska, 
into the State of Washington of quantities of canned salmon which was adul- 
terated. One shipment was labeled in part: (Cans) "North-View Brand 
Alaska Pink Salmon."

imposed a fine of $20 and costs.
