Abstract	Herein, it is stated that the Secretary of the Interior is directed to transmit to the Senate the report of Dr. Sheldon Jackson upon "The introduction of domestic reindeer in the district of Alaska" for 1904, with maps and illustrations. Following a letter of transmittal from the Secretary of Interior to the President of the Senate, this document presents General Agent of Alaska, Sheldon Jackson's fourteenth annual report. General Agent of Education in Alaska Sheldon Jackson's 14th annual report on introduction of domestic reindeer into Alaska notes that as of June 30, 1904, there were 8,189 head of domestic reindeer in Alaska distributed among 12 herds at 11 stations. Tables break out herd and fawn increase; number of animals sold, butchered, or dead over the course of the reindeer project; head numbers of by sex at the stations in 1904; reindeer loaned; numbers of apprentices and their holdings; congressional appropriations; and expenditures. Jackson stresses that natives need to be taught English and attend industrial schools to learn agriculture, herding, and teaming. Herds have rapidly increased, and two central stations will be established. The large northern Michigan Finn population has been selected as a source of new-hire teachers and herders. Jackson also reports on station personnel and conditions. The report details Assistant Agent William Hamilton's school and reindeer-station inspection itinerary from Washington, D.C. on June 8, 1904, to his return to Washington on October 17, 1904. The inspection tour covered 14,500 miles. Hamilton comments on harvesting seals, schools' condition, the natural environment and weather, local transportation methods, road and track maintenance, local community growth brought on by the gold rush, and the attack on Fort Selkirk. Appendices include correspondence on travel arrangements for the assistant agent; excerpts from a journal covering travel from Unalakleet to Bethel and return; U.S. Geological Survey memoranda on a reindeer route; annual reports from the reindeer stations at Teller, Gambell, Eaton, Cape Prince of Wales, Golofnin, Bethel, and Kotzebue; a report on reindeer by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's special agent in charge of Alaska agricultural experiment stations; and a reindeer song.
