    OSLO, Norway Locals in a mountain town in Norway are celebrating progress today. The village has gotten its first escalator. The town of Trysil is one of Norway's most popular ski resorts, so its 68-hundred residents are no strangers to ski lifts. But they're all outdoors. The new 50-foot-long escalator is inside the shopping center. The local newspaper ranks it with the town's first traffic circle. And a member of the Trysil history club puts it on the par with the first time anybody there ate a potato.
