Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and 
condemnation of 1,041 cases, each containing 4 dozen cans, of salmon, labeled 
in part, " Happy-Vale Brand Pink Salmon," remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped from 
Chicago, Ill., on December 16 and 17, 1919, respectively, and transported from
the State of Illinois into the State of Washington, and charging adulteration in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
