In the class ColumnSeriesDemo.MainWindow, I changed the lines 43 and 44 from

To

tmp.Axes.Add(new CategoryAxis { Position = AxisPosition.Bottom, ItemsSource = this.Items, LabelField = "Label" });

tmp.Axes.Add(new LogarithmicAxis { Position = AxisPosition.Left, Minimum = 1, Base = 10 });

With xaml, without the log Y axis:
