• HOW ROBT. W. SERVICE
* OP Yl'KON ROSE TO FAME •
• •
Now that the Yukon ballads of
Robert W. Service are read the wide
world over and he Is recognized us
one of the most gifted writers of his
day, every little sketch of his career
is read by the admirers of his works
with great interest. His former rot
tuge home in Dawson is the me:c»
of throngs of tourists who every
summer come to this laud of the
midnight sun.
Service first gained recognition
with his little volume of verse known
as "The Songs of a Sourdough." A
friend, writing of his experiences,
says:
Nearly all i f the "Songs of a
Sourdough" were written at the foot
of the famous Miles canyon, at a
point near the Whltehorse rapids. To
this place he would go on evenings
and Sundays to write his peices.
When his first manuscript, 'The
Songs of a Sourdough," was com
pleted he forwarded it to various
publishing houses, including William
Briggs, who afterwards became his
publisher. All of them returned the
manuscript with the usual note that
they could cot use the work. Believ
lag that the pieces possessed some
merit, he decided to publish a few
copies himself and present them to
his friends at Christmas time, and
also to enjoy the satisfaction of hav
ing his name on a book as author.
With this end in view be communi
cated with various publishers, and
finally decided to give the contract
to publish. I believe, twenty-four
copies, to William Briggs, of Toron
to, for the sum of $100.
About the time that the book was
off the press one of Brigg's western
traveling men happened to be in the
office and noticed a copy of the
book. He took the book home that
night aud read it. The next morn
ing he ume to the office and told
the manager that the .book contained
"some damned good s:uff," and that
he believed It would go like hot
cakes In the West. Leaving for the
West in a few days, he took a copy
of the work with him, winch he
showed -to friendB along the route,
with the result that they went wild
over the book, and besieged him
with orders, which he forwarded to
the head office. Orders for the work
commenced lo pour in on every mail
from the West, and the William
Briggs Company got busy, hit the
wires to ascertain what royalties
Service would accept. As they had
several thousand orders for the
work, Service was able to make very
satisfactory arrangements with them
Anything written by Service since
that time William Briggs wanted tc
publish.
After a time Service was trans
ferred from the Whitehorse branch
of the Canadian Bank of Commerce
to Dawson, where he worked with
the bank for a considerable time,
and while there finally decided to
resign his position in order to de
vote his entire time to writing. Ht
then rented a little cabin, where he
resided for a number of years, and
where he wrote s number of his
works. He wrote his verses on wrap
ping paper, smooth white paper
about e.ghteen Inches wide. Ou tliis=
he wrote with a crayon pencil in
three inches high. These strips ol
paper containing the verses were
lacked on the walls of the front
room. Walking up and down the
room, he would revise, c.iange or re
write the pieces until they sounded
i.-xactly right. In some cases he wrote
new ones and tacked them over the
old piece.
