Featured Article of the Day Willow Lake, in the Big Butte Creek watershed, and Mount McLoughlin Big Butte Creek is a 12-mile-long (19 km) tributary of the Rogue River located in the U.S. state of Oregon. It drains approximately 245 square miles (630 km2) of Jackson County. The north fork of the creek begins on Rustler Peak and the south fork's headwaters are near Mount McLoughlin (pictured). They meet near Butte Falls, and Big Butte Creek flows generally northwest until it empties into the Rogue River about 1 mile (1.6 km) southwest of Lost Creek Dam (William L. Jess Dam). Big Butte Creek's watershed was originally settled more than 8,000 years ago by the Klamath, Upper Umpqua, and Takelma tribes of Native Americans. In the Rogue River Wars of the 1850s, most of the Native Americans were either killed or forced into Indian reservations. The first non-indigenous settlers arrived in the 1860s, and the area was quickly developed. The creek was named after Snowy Butte, an early name for Mount McLoughlin. The small city of Butte Falls was incorporated in 1911. (Full article...)

Picture of the Day
Ford Strikers Riot is a 1941 photograph that shows an American strikebreaker getting beaten by United Auto Workers (UAW) strikers who were picketing at the Ford Motor Company's Rouge Plant in Dearborn, Michigan. Milton Brooks, a photographer for The Detroit News, captured the image on April 3, 1941, and it won the inaugural Pulitzer Prize for Photography in 1942. The photograph has been called a portrayal of the struggle in America between capital and labor. During the incident, a peaceful picketing of the Ford Motor Company was interrupted when a single man clashed with the UAW strikers. The man ignored the advice of the Michigan State Police and crossed the picket lines. Brooks, who was waiting with other photojournalists outside the Ford factory gates, took only one photograph and said: "I took the picture quickly, hid the camera ... ducked into the crowd ... a lot of people would have liked to wreck that picture."Photograph credit: Milton Brooks; restored by Yann Forget
