Here is a sample code that does what you need it to do:

;example data (5 points)
x = [1487,500,24,3455,2233]
y = [11,50,2400,32.3,111]

fit = linfit(alog(x),alog(y))
xfit=[0:max(alog(x)):max(alog(x))/100.]
yfit = xfit*fit[1]+fit[0]

p = plot(alog(x),alog(y),layout=[2,1,1],symbol='o',linestyle=6,c olor='blue')
p2 = plot(xfit,yfit,/overplot)

NOTE: You can use either of your plot techniques. This will just change the actual labels on the axes. One will be just the log powers (it will show 3 for 1000), the other will be the data values in log form (it will show 10^3 for 1000)
