 entitled to such money may apply to the proper state officers 

 to have such lands sold in the manner provided by law, and if 

 said lands have not been appraised, the State Land Commissioner 

 shall, upon said application being made, cause the same, ex- 

 clusive of benefits, to be appraised, and the assessment for such 

 improvement shall be added to the appraised valuation of all 

 such tracts owned by the state, and such Land Commissioner

 provided by law, but no sale shall be made for less than the
