it's 1933 1933 but a long time since I

first looked out into this valley in

southern Utah said to myself Tom Eggers

this is sure pretty country

how'd you like to live here and have

your own place where there's plenty of

gold and trout in the streams lots of

deer in the hills forget all your

worries raise your own food and be your

own boss

25 years ago I made up my mind that make

this place my home find a wife raise a

family maybe a son but in a few years

things changed nature had given us a lot

but gradually she began to take it away

cool rains became hot dry winds now we

have a drought and depression

but like the fellow said there's some

good and everything I wouldn't be happy

anywhere else I love this country and

I'm gonna stick it out till things get

better even if all I have to live on is

the bounty you get for killing the big

cat

from

a big lion gently from up there I've

been tracking that cat ever since sunup

I did this is it friends and neighbors

the Bible says six days shalt thou work

with on the seventh house shalt rest

well the Lord knows we need the rest but

but being the Almighty he well he also

knows that we need our water pipe down

to our cattle in our stock or there will

be nothing left

likewise knowing that every minute

counts well he won't mind if we make

this meeting short so we'll just start

out by offering up prayer

Oh Lord

I'm not much good at this as you can

tell by listening to me

we're here to ask you to bless us

especially Tom Eggers letting us have

the use of the water which is on his

property I know we haven't always been

friendly enough or neighborly enough

there's often a dry spell in their

hearts like in the land but if each of

us is willing to forgive our enemy

then maybe you see fit to end this

broadly amen oh how do you like that

church pretty wonderful come along boy

you going home with me why should I

well I'm your uncle a bye uncle

you haven't been my uncle for 20 years

selling them Danny you'll keep out of

this tom Eggers as long as he's living

under you should have come to me in the

first place get the same kind of

treatment I gave Lucy I can take care of

myself I won't have no hops beholdin -

best stand of trees

tanbark business

what tan talk business Tom are you crazy

Tom hasn't been in business for years I

know that he told me about the

depression wasn't depression I just want

to dance and address it but world when I

twirl what do you mean it wasn't a

depression

well somebody invented a synthetic

tannin that was better than they could

get from bark are you sure of course I'm

sure you know I just adore waltzing it's

so romantic but my mother told me that

Tom had a lot of men working for him we

did but they all moved away then after

they'd gone there was a big pile of

tanbark left and then one night Tom

burned it it made the most beautiful

bonfire

I love bonfires don't you Doris the

goodness sake

put that dress away is what you want

Larry good thanks don't get me a napkin

I think I've got putting the rest of his

bread Tom not having enough Tom pays for

ranch around here please land well in

support

dreams I see looks like I had it all

mind to stay I changed my mind

look Tom what's the use of kidding

yourself you can't build up a business

out of hopes and dreams all you've been

talking to guilt no Matt damn that's

crazy

look if they've got uh synthetic tanning

nobody's gonna need that mark of yours

the things I lied to you about those

orders no it's just that maybe the

Tanners down those orders before they've

seen this chemical uh-huh take a look at

him there's one in there's only three

months old I don't get it

isn't the synthetic tanning any good oh

it's all right for some height but not

for the real fine skins

I knew it soon as I saw the skins that's

why I've been trying to hang on well

then what's holding it back I'm broke I

can't hire anybody

I thought maybe if you and I could work

together we could get out enough bark

the fillos waters you think we could

sure be a little tough to let it

depression and the drought breaks we

should have a roof over your head and

some venison to eat Danny tell you what

I'll do

you throw in with me now and when

business picks up make him my partner

partner mm-hmm okay

I read your mother I might I have a son

like you

I mean if we get him we'll have a

hundred and fifty dollars to put into

the business what do you say son how

about climbing out of those sundy

clothes let's go get that cat it's a

deal

wouldn't have the rifle before

paulien shooting galleries

look

I see

except when promised to

I reckon I'd have time to get him

what about the cat wait need to meet

now's when you get your first luck

okay Danny I got him give me a hand will

ya

I'm sorry I I just couldn't pull the

trigger you had but beaver that's all

you kind of tough dressing them out of

here I guess we better get it back to

the house go throw a rope on that horse

in the past you bring him up here with

you I don't know how to rope a horse

that's okay son I'll go

you stay here we keep your eyes peeled

for that cat

hey what are you trying to do

why don't you waiting for me got a bad

arm decides not to be of some use around

here under you she'll be around here

with a sprained back why did you dress

him first made of lighter by 30 or 45

yeah

put that blue pony right on the horn

what

get a blister yes don't turn into

calluses pretty soon well I get to work

Oh Matt a couple of steaks we can use

some of that meat for separately I don't

think I want any ice I'm not much of a

meat eater listen Danny you're gonna

live out here you'll have to get over

that notion or you might not eat regular

I don't like killing any better than you

do and I've never done it unless it was

some environment like a rattlesnake or a

cougar something I needed to eat you

know some of us didn't cut down on the

deer and the cats that overrun the

country so bad you can raise a stock a

corner or a single head of cattle funny

thing that the balance of nature gets

unbalanced sometimes I suppose maybe

it's man's fault but there's one thing I

know for sure that meat was put here for

us to eat besides any deer I go hunting

for is that a lot better chance to die

of old age and some steer cooped up in

the stockyard I'll I'll give me a hand

dressing out that but yes

hariya come on come on what's the matter

I left a 30-30 up on the hill they left

I can get up close I think I can get him

with this

Oh

anyhoo we are no wait

Tom's back there is dead cat got him

ah dog look the other side a person

wants to remember he must have been out

of his head to go after a cougar with a

22

I can't understand

what are you doing

I killed Tom I forgot left his gun up in

the hilt all he had was a 22

it hadn't been for me you wouldn't have

died that's why I've got to get the cat

come on what are you trying to do get

that boy killed what do you mean I'm

trying to get him killed out a dog yes

got a chance you know as well as I do

the top left everything to Lucy or Danny

out of the way you get their property

has been one for the past 20 years I

wanted that property for over 20 years

but not that bad he could have that off

stay with us

the cat was right on top of him clawing

and snarling but daddy just tossed him

off grabs his gun and shot him bang just

like that I would have got that cat if

it hadn't been for his bad eye that's

telling unwed

oh don't you go belittling what's your

cousin done he's your own blood kin well

we said it was a hoax it's more I'm

gonna do something real nice for him

gonna take this property off his hands I

heard a good price thanks but I'm not

selling selling ain't aimin to stay I

sure AM I've got 150 dollars coming for

this and I'm going into the tanbark

business Uncle Gil

ain't you just a little too young to go

traipsing around without a chaperone

it's like you said Matt time changes

things even here

Matt it's the end of the ground

the feature of us is willing to forgive

his enemy then maybe you'll see fit to

end this drought if you keep my command

I will give

you
