From Volume Two of The Cyclopedia of Western Australia, edited by J.S. Battye (1912-13):
"Parakalia" Homestead, the property of Messrs. Maley Brothers Three Springs
"The "Parakalia" Estate is situated in the growing district of Three Springs, lying about two miles in a westerly direction from the town of that name and embracing some 10,000 acres of land ideal in every respect for agricultural and pastoral purposes. As brief a period as six years ago there was not an acre of cleared land in the locality, the whole being covered with a formidable forest of morrell and salmon gum, which indicated the fertile character of the rich red and light loamy soils prevailing over a wide area - since proved so excellently suited to the production of grain and hay and good stock-fattening grasses. Since the acquisition of the property by Messrs. Maley Brothers in 1907, however, a change has come over the face of things, and the 2,000 acres now cleared and cultivated represent the spirit of energy and enterprise which they brought to bear in the development of their proposition. There is plenty of moisture in the soil, and wells have been sunk and dams constructed in various parts of the property, while several windmills serve their useful purpose in making the utilization of the water a simple and easy matter. Wheat, barley, and oats are grown in large quantities, and some marvellous results have been secured, the splendid milling qualities of the grain proving sufficiently the filling capacity of the soil. To quote some results: Last year (1912) from an area close upon 1,500 acres Messrs. Maley obtained an average of 22 bushels of wheat, while "Chevalier" barley averaged 45 bushels, "Cape" barley 6o bushels to the acre, and oats 50 bushels - constituting a record for the district. As high as three tons to the acre have been realised for hay, and even in 1911, a particularly dry season half a ton of hay and 14 bushels of wheat to the acre were harvested. Having established on good, sound business lines the cereal-growing enterprise, Messrs. Maley Brothers turned their attention with special concentration to the project of breeding something out of the common run in draught stock, and to this end purchased, through the Otago Farmers' Co-operative Union, twelve mares, comprising some of the Dominion's most renowned stock… An earlier purchase made by Messrs. Maley Brothers from New Zealand was the fine Clydesdale stallion "Maori King", a beautiful bright bay horse who has already made his presence felt in the Western Australian show-ring, his record being: - 1910: 1^st prize, 3 years and under, Greenough Show; 1^st prize open class; 1^st prize, 3 years and under, Geraldton Show; 1^st prize, open class, and champion certificate, Geraldton; 1^st prize, 3 year class, and reserve champion certificate at the Royal Show. 1911: 1^st prize, open class, at the Geraldton and Greenough shows, and champion certificate at the former. 1912: 1^st prize, open class, at Greenough and Irwin shows, and winner of the "Lloyds" 20-guinea cup at the latter; 1^st prize, open class, Royal Horse Parade, Claremont… Already he has got some fine foals for his owner, which may be seen at "Parakalia". A flock of 3,000 sheep of mixed breeds is kept chiefly for the mutton markets, and Berkshire pigs are bred from a noted strain… The "Parakalia" homestead was built in 1911, and the outbuildings, comprising men's quarters, grain and machinery shed, stabling, etc., are up to date in every respect."

     It is 10 years since we took up land here and four years since I came to live here. I was bought up on a farm at Greenough. In my own name I hold a block of 460 acres of first class land and about 1,600 acres of second class grazing lease. I manage a total of about 21,000 acres of first, second and pastoral land, and of the whole of the area about 3,500 acres is first class and about 3,500 acres second class. The pastoral lease would be about 14,000 acres. The agricultural land is 2½ miles from the railway. It is Government land. We paid 30s. an acre for some of it. The average price for the first class land would be about 22s. 6d. I have 3,000 acres cleared, all fenced, and subdivided. The water supply is four dams, two of 3,000 yards, and one of 4,000 yards, and one of 1,000 yards. There are two wells also, which water 3,000 or 4,000 sheep.
     The price of dam sinking is about 2s. 6d. a yard. I have had some sunk for 1s. 6d. and 1s., but have had to provide materials and so on which brings it up. The Public Works Department have two dams sunk here and have records as to price and so on.
     But you had the 4,000 yard dam in 1914? I just finished it then, but I had one dam of 3,000 yards, which had just gone dry. I have a stone and brick eight-roomed house and ample stable and machinery shed accommodation. The farming plant cost about £2,500. I have 60 working horses, about 2,100 sheep, 150 cattle and 160 pigs. What do you reckon your total capital investment at? About £15,000.
     This year I have 1,700 acres of crop on my own account and 500 acres on share; 300 acres of that is fallow. Fallowing is a hard question to consider. I do not consider it as a business proposition. The cost of labour and material does not pay for fallowing the land for the extra return obtained from it. If you feed your land for two years the difference would not be more than six bushels from fallow. Then you have the grazing of that for two years.
     Does it not mean that you must have a larger plant? Yes; this is why I got the area in. Do you allow interest on the increased plant you have to carry to account for the difference? Certainly. I sow 45lbs. of seed to the acre and sometimes a bushel. If I crop this year I will use 45lbs. If the land is spelling for a year or two and then cropped again I would say a bushel because I find it does not stool so well for the second year in. I generally use 50lbs. of super on the bulk of my land up to 100lbs. on some of it - the poor land.
     With regard to fallow, take the small farmer with 300 acres of crop, should he put in as much fallow as he does? Certainly, if he is not running stock. I use 12-furrow disc ploughs and 6-furrow mouldboard ploughs. I work eight horses in the former and eight in the latter. I do 12 acres a day with the disc and nine with the other. That is a long day's work. They should do 10 easily and eight with the other. With the 17-disc drills 25 acres have been done, but a fair average a day would be about 17. I have a 6ft. and 8ft. Sunshine harvester, but I prefer the 8ft. With the 6ft. we do about eight acres [a day] and with the 8ft. 10 acres, using the same number of horses. That is why I like the 8ft. better on account of the horses and the men. The majority of the country is level. There is no side draught at all if you work three and three horses. The farmer by using the largest possible machinery would necessarily reduce his cost. Federation [wheat] is the best seed with us. All the early wheats give a good yield, but go down too quickly if there is a bit of wind. You cannot take risks with them.
     If farmers stick to the best wheats suited to the district their average would be raised? Yes. In this district I have been growing crops since 1910 and I have had Federation every year, and in 1914 it was the only failure. It beat all other wheat for an average. Another point with Federation is that it will stand up as long as you like. After the big storm in January last year all the other crops lost 15 per cent, but it did not affect Federation. I had a nine-bag crop of Federation and it did not affect it. Bulk handling [of wheat] would be of great benefit. I would tie my grain in loose bags or else put sides on to the wagon and cart it in bulk, but you would have to have a few bags empty at various places. All machinery and everything that is required in the industry should come in free of duty.
     Last year I had rust; this is the only time I had it. I pickle and grade my wheat. All the dry down wheat is put in without pickling. Sowing dry seems to have the same effect as pickling, and there is no smut. I have tried fodder crops, but they did no good with me. Pig raising is profitable. I hand-feed and pasture mine. So far as wages are concerned, we have a couple of men at 25s., one at 20s., and others at 60s. for good men for harvester drivers. You have to pay any waster that comes along £2 10s. and his keep. A farmer here should have at least 3,000 acres of first class land. A man with a big team should do 500 acres of fallow. It seems to me that the price of land is reasonable and the conditions easy.
     Sheep pay better than anything else. All farmers should carry more sheep. It would be a dairying district if the farmers went in for ensilage. We have two cows making seven to eight pounds of butter a week. They are feeding on stubble. Clearing costs 30s. an acre. In salmon gum country the soil is about 14 inches deep.
     Have you any grievances with respect to land settlement? The only grievance I have is that there should be bulk handling of wheat and the areas should be made larger for those who will work the land. Personally I would not farm on less than 3,000 acres. To farm on less is lizarding. This should be a prosperous district. Since I have been here there has been only one failure. If the land was fallowed in 1911 it would have shown a good average yield. Undoubtedly the small farmer should have fallow. If the I.A.B. [Industries Assistance Board] people gave the farmer more latitude it would be better for them. If they extended the loan and let them work from the proceeds of the crop they have now, it would set them all on their feet.
     On what terms do you hold the 14,000 acres? Pastoral lease, £1 per thousand acres. It is sandplain. On what terms do you work the share farming? I think share farming is the best things for the landlord. I work it on the one-quarter and one-third.  The share farmer finds everything except the land. I have a man with 360 acres with me. He has given me one-third of the crop. He finds everything, but I find the implements and water and house to live in. He is further away than the other farmers.
     How many bushels does it take to pay actual costs from the time you plough till you put the wheat on trucks? Twelve to 13 bushels. It would cost the man who does his own work nine bushels and the man who pays wages about three bushels more."

Mr. C. C. Maley, M.L.A. - Death After Brief Illness
    "The news of the death of Mr. C. C. Maley, M.L.A. for the Irwin constituency, which took place on October 15th at his residence Outram-street, Perth, will be received with great regret by a wide circle of friends. He was only taken ill on Saturday evening but from the outset it was realised that his condition was serious. He lapsed into unconsciousness, and despite every attention never rallied, passing away early this morning. Deceased, who was about 64 years of age, was the fifth son of the late Mr. Stephen Maley, one of the pioneers of the Greenough, where he was born. After being educated at Fremantle he engaged in farming pursuits with his father, and then for some years he conducted hotels on the goldfields. In 1910 he settled at Three Springs, and for many years was associated with that very fine property known as "Parakalia," two or three miles out of the town, which has long been noted for its high wheat yields, and the excellence of its pasture lands.
     A giant in a family of big men the deceased was a man of few words, but was an energetic worker, and took an active part in the affairs of the district. He entered Parliament some years ago as the representative of the Irwin constituency in the Nationalist interest, but two or three years ago he threw in his lot with the Country Party. There was probably no more familiar or better known figure in Parliament than that of "Charlie" Maley as he was called by everybody. He never professed to be an orator, and rarely troubled the Hansard staff, but he was a prime favourite with everybody, and like most big men he was good humoured and fond of a joke, and was usually the life and soul of any company in which he joined. Though not a talker he gave great attention to the needs of his district, and his constituents found him ever ready to do his utmost to see that their requests were granted. He will be greatly missed by many friends inside and outside Parliament. The Funeral - The remains of the late Mr. Maley were laid to rest in the Karrakatta Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon. Among those attending from the North Midlands district were Messrs Frank Maley, brother; Cecil Maley, nephew; E. Franklin; J. K. Hebiton; J. S. O'Halloran, representing Mingenew Road Board; E. Hunt, chairman Three Springs Road Board; Mrs. Watson; Messrs A. Mortimer, K. B. Johnston, E. Dawson, Barnhart. The following sent wreathes from the district:- Sporting bodies of Mingenew, residents of Three Springs and district, Rev. Father M. Lynch, chairman and members of Three Springs Road Board, Three Springs Football Club, North Midland Football Association, Dr. Mayrhofer, Mr and Mrs. Barnhart, Mr M. Quain and Mr C. Gilbert. Parliament Adjourned - Tributes from Colleagues - Perth, October 16. The Legislative Assembly adjourned yesterday afternoon immediately after eulogistic references to the late Mr. C. Maley had been made, and a motion expressing deep regret at his death and sincere sympathy with his relatives had been placed on record. In moving the motion, the Premier (Mr. Collier) said he felt sure every member was grieved to learn of the death of Mr. Maley, who by his kindness of heart, his genial disposition and good nature had endeared himself to every members of the House. Although Mr. Maley was quiet and unassuming, he rendered very great service to the State. "His whole life, before he entered parliament, and while he was a member," Mr. Collier proceeded, "was wrapped up in the State's progress, particularly in its pastoral and agricultural industries. He was the friend and benefactor of all settlers in his district, and helped many farmers, not only be his advice and mature judgement but in more practical ways. He will be greatly missed by every member of the House. It can be said that he did not belong to any party. He was the friend of all, and his good nature and kindness heart will be remembered by every member who had the privilege of associating with him." The leader of the Opposition (Sir Jams Mitchell) aid that he had known Mr. Maley since he was a boy. "He loved the land of his birth," Sir James went on, "and did his best for its development, both in Parliament, and out of it. The House has sustained a severe loss by the passing of such a genial and kindly soul." The leader of the Country Party (Mr. Thomson) said that all members were somewhat stunned by the suddenness with which Mr. Maley had been taken from them. As Mr. Maley was the son of an old pioneering family which had done much for the State, it was fitting that he should have passed away in harness. "Although," Mr Thomson concluded, "he had the reputation of being the silent member of the House, his constituents grealt miss the excellent service he un-obstructively rendered." The Party Leaders' remarks were supported by Mr. Taylor (Nat., Mt. Margaret), and Mr. J. H. Smith (Nat., Nelson). Mr. Smith, speaking with deep emotion said:- "Mr. Maley was loved by every member of the House. He was big in all things. He was one of the greatest West Australian we have known." After members had stood in silence the House adjourned. Reference in Legislative Council - The Legislative Council adjourned immediately after prayers had been read yesterday afternoon as a tribute to the memory of the late Mr. C. C. Maley. The Chief Secretary moved: That this House desires to place on record its sincere sympathy and condolence with the relatives of the late Mr. C. C. Maley, member of the Legislative Assembly, who died this morning, and that the President be requested to forward a copy of this resolution to them. "It is with deep regret that I move this resolution," Mr. Drew said. "Although he was not a member of this Chamber, we all knew him as one possessed of many fine qualities. He was at enmity with none, and his friendships were not restricted class, party or creed. As a farmer on a large scale he did much for agriculture. I had known him for many years and was deeply shocked to hear that he was ill beyond hope of recovery." Members stood in silence for a full minute, after which Mr. Drew moved the adjournment."


From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 26 October 1929:
The Late C. C. Maley, M.L.A. - References at Three Springs
"Sympathetic references to the death of the late member of the district, Mr. C. C. Maley, M.L.A., were made at meetings of the Road Board and of the Hospital Committee in Three Springs last week. In the moving of a motion of sympathy with the relatives at a meeting of the Road Board on Monday, which was carried by members standing in silence, the chairman, Mr. E. Hunt, said they had lost a friend as well as a member, and this applied to the whole of his constituency and the agricultural areas. Mr. Maley had made it a duty to bring Ministers into his constituency to see for themselves how matters stood. He had been friendly with all parties in the House, and had always done his best for the welfare of the State and the farming community. If they could get another member to do anything approaching what Mr. Maley had done for the district they would do well. Speaking in support of the motion, Mr. E. K. Byrne said they regretted the loss of one of the pioneers of the district. Mr. Maley was gone, but he would never be forgotten. If silent, their late member had been a good honest worker. The speaker had known Mr. Maley for a long time, and had never seen him angry. In the history of the North Midlands they had never had a better member. Mr. Maley had been of great assistance to them in the formation of their road board. Mr. H. J. W. Sweetman remarked that the previous speakers had said practically all that could be said about their late member, and he would heartily endorse their sentiments. He could only add that the late Mr. Maley had been a read good sport. Mr. W. D. S. Smith said he had known the late Mr. Maley for 30 years, having first met him at Leonora, and had been his neighbour at Three Springs for 19 years. He had always found Mr. Maley a good neighbour. They would not find anyone to take a keener interest in the welfare of the district. The speaker recalled the fact that when the late Mr. Maley's father was buried, nine sons had acted as pallbearers. Mr. W. Mutter stated that mr. Maley had been one of the first men to do him a favour after his arrival at Three Springs, and he did that not as a politician, but as a man. During the speakers recent illness he has been talking to a member of Parliament in Perth, who has said that Mr. Maley, although known as a silent member, could get more for his constituency than any other member of the House. At a meeting of the committee of the North Midlands District Hospital, on October 19, the chairman, Mr. R. A. Caldow, referring to the loss the district has sustained through the death of their late member, said that but for the efforts of Mr. Maley, there would have been no small chance of getting the splendid building they not possessed. Mr. Caldow's remarks were supported by Messrs E. Hunt, I. Wallace and other."


From The Geraldton Guardian newspaper, Friday 19 May 2006:
Our Heritage with Gary Warner - King of the Springs
"People who made a name for themselves in the earlier years of Western Australia frequently did so across a wide area. One such person was Charles Crowther Maley, who was born on August 28, 1876 at Greenough, the son of John and Elizabeth Maley who owned Maley's Mill. Educated first at North Greenough State School and then at the Briggs School in Fremantle, he headed to the eastern goldfields in search of his fortune. He may not have found a fortune but he did find a wife in Sarah O'Toole, a widow who managed a hotel at Day Dawn. When land west of the Midland Railway line, in what was known as the  Kadathinni Agricultural Area, was opened up to settlers in 1906, Maley's  brother Solomon was one of the first applicants. C. C. Maley joined him at what was later to be known as Three Springs and  established his own farm which he named Parakalia. Elected as a member of the upper Irwin Road Board, C.C. Maley became a JP in 1912 and was elected to State Parliament in 1921, as the MLA for Irwin. Along the way, his marriage to Sarah fell apart and he lived in a defacto relationship with Vera Davey, as his estranged wife, a devout Catholic, refused all requests for a divorce. Maley had established a farm with 30,000 acres of leasehold land and 23,000 acres freehold, but was deeply in debt when he died in 1929. His widow, Sarah, took over the farm and made it profitable before her own death in 1952 Known in the final years of his life as the King of Three Springs, Charles  Crowther Maley was praised at his funeral by Premier P. Collier, as a man who had been a great help to many other pioneer settlers."

From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 26 December 1929:
Country Towns and Districts - Three Springs and Mingenew - People and Properties
"Dr. M. A. Mayrhofer has been in Three Springs for three and a half years, and, like most country medicos, he has a large area to cover, a superabundance of work, and therefore, little leisure time. Dr. Mayrhofer was educated at the Christian Brothers' College, Perth, going from there to the Melbourne University, where he graduated in 1923. Since his return to Western Australia he has been a resident doctor at the Perth and Children's Hospitals."


From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 9 December 1950:
Death of Dr. Mayrhofer - Sad Loss to North Midlands - An Untimely End
"It is with extreme regret that we record the death of Dr. M. A. (Mario) Mayrhofer, of Three Springs, who passed away in a metropolitan hospital on Thursday last. It was generally known in the North Midlands, throughout which territory he had practised for many years past, that he was in ill-health and had accordingly sought advice and attention in the city, but maybe it was only his relatives and intimate friends that were aware of the seriousness of his condition, and therefore his untimely passing will doubtless come as a shock to the district residents generally. Born in Perth fifty years age, the late Dr. Mayrhofer was educated at the Christian Brothers' College in Perth and graduated at the Melbourne University. Shortly after entering the medical profession he accepted an appointment at Three Springs about twenty-four years ago and has practised at that centre ever since. Of a genial and happy disposition, the deceased doctor was always most attentive to his many calls and at all times extremely considerate towards his patients, and there will be many who will long remember him for his noble work in the cause of humanity. The late Dr. Mayrhofer, whose remains were privately interred in the Anglican Cemetery at Karrakatta yesterday afternoon, is survived by his wife, one son (Peter) and one daughter (Margaret), to whom we join with residents of the North Midlands generally in extending profound sympathy in an extremely sad loss."


From The North Midland Times newspaper, Thursday 14 December 1950:
"Obituary - Late Dr. M. A. Mayrhofer. Words cannot express the heartfelt regret of the people of the North Midlands at hearing the sad news of the demise of Doctor M. A. Mayrhofer, who passed away on Thursday, December 7, at Mount Hospital where he had undergone a major operation a fortnight ago. Since the operation his condition had been very low but there seemed a bright spark on Wednesday when it was reported that there was a slight improvement in his condition. However during that night he took a bad turn resulting in such a sad ending. Dr. Mayrhofer took over the practise at Three Springs some 25 years ago from Dr. McAleer, now of Geraldton, and during the years, his patient attention to his patients and his courteous manner to all who met him he has endeared himself to all, to the extent that each seemed to look upon him as a member of the family. The whole of the North Midlands, and particularly Three Springs, mourn the loss, [not] only of a doctor, but of a very dear friend, and it is difficult to express the heartfelt sympathy for his widow and two children, Peter and Margaret. His remains were privately interred in the Karrakatta Cemetery."
