in the district court an information against Guy A. Scott and Mrs. Guy A. Scott, 
trading as Scotty Packing Co., alleging that on OT about June 26, June 27, July 
1, and August 3, 1935, the defendants shipped from Cordova, Alaska, into the 
State of Washington quantities of canned salmon which was adulterated in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act
