From the Progress Report of the Royal Commission on the
               Agricultural Industries of Western Australia on the Wheat-Growing Portion of the South-West Division of the State
:
Saturday 16 December 1916 at Three Springs
"WILLIAM HARRIS, Farmer, Three Springs, sworn and examined:
     I have been farming here for three years. I have had previous experience in New South Wales and Victoria as a farm labourer, and I have also been storekeeping. I hold 789 acres on one farm and 100 acres on another, Government land. The purchase price is 16s. Of the 789 acres 540 was first class and the rest hills, that cannot be cultivated. The other 100 acres is all good. The big block is seven miles from the railway and the small block is six miles from the railway. I cleared 330 acres on the 789 acre block and on the other I cleared 30 acres, and the balance is all knocked down. The main block is fenced with six wires, except one end. It will take two and a half miles to complete. The 100 acre block is all fenced. The water supply is very poor in a well, 152 feet deep. It is drying up now and I have to cart water. It cost £228 to equip it. I am a married man with two children. I have a four-roomed wood and iron house, no stables, no machinery shed. I could not get any iron. I put £600 into it and borrowed £685 from the Agricultural Bank and I owe about £700 to the Industries Assistance Board. There is a second mortgage of £600 to the creditors. That was the consideration I offered for the place when I turned the store business over to them. That has nothing to do with the cost of working the farm. I have not had any advice or assistance from any departmental experts, and I have not heard of any of my neighbours being assisted by them.
     I have 280 acres under crop, but no fallow. To an extent I believe in fallow if I had the area. If I could clear another 300 acres, it would be profitable to fallow part of it every year. This year it was a failure. Last year was the first crop I had. I got 16 bushels off 206 acres. The rest was cut for hay. I do not think it will go more than 14 bushels this year. September played up with it. Mid-season wheat is the best for here with a portion of the crop put in with an early growing wheat. My early wheat it Bunyip this year and is going 20 bushels. Darch's Imperial only averaged nine bushels this year. I use 50lbs. of seed to the acre and in one place 80lbs., according to the land. The increase made as much as six bushels difference. It is the same seed and put in at the same time. The one crop goes 10 and the other 16 or 17 bushels. Last year I put in super on some of the land and got nothing. I could make 300 acres of crop pay on 14 bushels to the acre. To pay actual expenses of putting in and taking off would be from eight to nine bushels. I used to buy wheat for Darling  for two seasons and a lot of my purchase would represent a 20-bushel yield. I have a 10-furrow disc plough myself and I think bulk handling would pay if we could use the same bags over and over again. I am a free trader and, therefore, believe that everything should come in free and most certainly farmers' machinery. The farmer has no protection as regards his grain and has to compete with the world and yet he has to pay heavy duty on his necessary machinery.
     Last year I suffered a little from rust, but I cut my crop for hay and thus saved it. The land costs too much to experiment with for a start. Last year I paid wages 35s. a week and this year it is 40s. a week and keep. Last year the man U had was not worth 10s. a week. They work on an average of about eight or nine hours a day. No man should hold less than 1,000 to 1,500 acres in this district and none of the land is any good until it is cleared, yet all the time the farmer has to pay rent on the whole area, although through being unable to clear some of it, it must remain for a long time quite useless to him. If a man could get an advance to clear six or seven hundred acres and ring the remainder, he could start off from the jump and get an average good crop early. Where the land is poor, like mine, he should be able to take up more of it. I cannot crop more than 60 per cent of my land. The Government will not reduce the price of land, or extend the terms of payments. This is not satisfactory, because I am paying 16s. for land that is not worth 2s. 6d. It is simply worthless rocky hills. I bought it from a man who had already taken it up. A man should be able to do 300 to 350 acres [of crop] himself annually, and co-operation [among farmers] would be an advantage. This was started when the Farmers and Settlers' Association started and was known as the Farmers and Settlers' Progress Association. They were going to deal one particular firm, but the scheme fell through owing to its being turned into a political association, and so many of us pulled out. The land laws are reasonable, but, in my case, I have had to make three applications for three different loans for £685. Each of these loans cost me time and trouble and I had in each instance to pay a separate sum for the mortgage, but speaking generally, I think the land laws are satisfactory. If a man takes up a large quantity of land and finds some of it worthless, some official should be appointed to value it. I now land which was sold for 10s. an acre that I would give £2 an acre for, so there seems to be no system about it. I am seven miles further out than that, and yet my land is not worth anything, although I pay a higher price for it. I am not complaining, but something should be done with the land that we cannot make any use of.
     If the amount you owe the Industries Assistance Board was funded and you had 10 years for repayment, do you think you would be able to stand on your own feet? Yes, if the Board would hand me 45 per cent, or 50 per cent of my wheat and take the balance I could finance myself right through. If the Government supplies ewes to the right men it would be an excellent policy. I have not sufficient land to carry more than 100 breeding ewes, but it would give me meat and keep my ground clean, and give me a little wool and the increase for sale. I have started pigs. I have seven now, bought with the little money that I got from the Board. I have asked repeatedly for £16 for wire netting to fence them in with. The ground I sold last year, if I had had pigs on it, I could have made worth 5s. 6d. a bushel. The land inspector here is Mr. Wilson. The board has given me practically all that I wanted, but it has been a struggle to get it. I have no wagon, but I have 60 or 70 bags of wheat in the paddock and no means of getting them in. I want to show you a pinion weighing 1¾ lbs., which is not worth more than 3s. 6d. at the outside. I required one and sent down below for it. They charged me 9s. 6d. Here is another article worth not more than 1d., a key for which they charged 1s. 3d., and none of them fit. I bought them from H. J. Wigmore & Co. I would suggest that some inquiries should be made as to why farmers should be charged such ridiculously high prices."

From The Midlands Advertiser newspaper, Friday 15 July 1910:
Shocking Lift Accident - Pastoralist Crushed to Death - Victim Mr John Hearn
"The numerous friends of Mr John Hearn, of Woodphenatty Station, Arrino, on the Midland Railway, were painfully shocked on Tuesday, when they heard that mr Hearn had lost his life early that morning as the result of a lift accident at His Majesty's Hotel, Hay-street, where he had been stopping since Saturday. The deceased left Arrino on Friday with a train load of sheep and took up his residence in the city at His Majesty's Hotel. The sheep were disposed of on Saturday, and Mr Hearn decided to spend Sunday and Monday in he city, and to return to his station by the early train on Tuesday morning. He accordingly was early astir, and having told the hotel porter to place his travelling bags in the lift went in for breakfast. Having breakfast Mr Hearn hurried down to the first floor to secure his baggage and met liftboy, Jos. Billings, standing near the lift door. The boy courteously offered to carry the baggage from the lift to the cab, but Mr Hearn good naturedly waved him aside and said he would get it himself. Billings then opened the lift door and stood near by while Mr Hearn entered to secure his baggage. In doing so he must have accidentally moved the lever with which the electric mechanism is operated, for as he was stepping out with his baggage the lift started to descend. Billings noticed the occurrence and tried unsuccessfully to stop the lift. He cut his hand in his endeavour to prevent the accident, which occurred almost instantaneously with the moving of the lift. The door of the descending lift caught Mr Hearn on the shoulders carrying him off his feat and crushing his head fearfully against the floor. The obstruction caused the safety wire attached to the mechanism to fuse and this arrested the downward progress of the lift, too late, unfortunately to save Mr Hearn's life. Though not killed outright, Mr Hearn only lived a few minutes, for Dr Seed, who was hurriedly summoned, could only upon arrival pronounce life to be extinct. Detective Demsey, who subsequently investigated the case, found that the lift was apparently in good working order when the unfortunate accident occurred, for it had been examined and passed only a few days previously by a Government inspector. Mr M. Daly, the proprietor of the hotel, was a personal friend of the deceased, and was considerably unnerved by the tragic occurrence. He, however, lost no time in telegraphing Mr McPherson, of Arrino, asking him to break the sad news to Mrs Hearn. The late Mr Hearn was 45 years of age, and had been about 15 years in Western Australia. His parents, who were parents in the Mansfield district (Victoria), both died after his arrival in this State. Mr Hearn managed Norkawarra station on the Murchison for Mr Frank Wittenoon for some years. He then engaged in stock dealing, and his efforts were attended with such success that he was enabled in a short time to secure a half-interest in a Murgoo station with the late Mr H M. Maloney. Upon the death of Mr Maloney the station was sold to Mr Chas. Atkins for a substantial sum. Mr Hearn subsequently purchased Gabyon station, on the Murchison, but indifferent health caused him to sell the property Mr W. F. Walkeley (of Fremantle), with his wife went for a trip to England. On returning to Western Australia he secured Woodphenatty station where he has since resided with his wife and only child - a daughter. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs Hearn in her bereavement. An inquiry was formally opened before Mr H. J. Holland, J.P., and a jury, a adjourned to the 19th inst., at 2.30.-"West Australian.""


From The Midlands Advertiser newspaper, Friday 22 July 1910:
"At the adjourned inquest concerning the death of Mr John Hearn of Woodphenatty Station, Arrino, who died as the result of injuries sustained in a lift at His Majesty's Hotel, Perth, on the morning of 12th July, the jury returned a verdict that deceased came to his death through suffocation caused by a lift. They added ta rider to the effect that the starting gear on the lift was not safe, and that the authorities should ensure that all lifts should be made safe for the public."
