and conditions in this Act any or all of the land in whole tracts
according to the forfeiture; provided, that two or more portions
of the same section or tracts may be combined into one purchase
as may be desired by the applicant.
Section 2. Where any of the lands included in the preceding
section may hereafter be forfeited for the non-payment of interest
in the manner provided by law for such forfeiture and either
before or after advertisement of land as being subject to forfeiture
for non-payment of interest, the Commissioner of the
General Land Office shall forward such list of land to the clerk
of the county in which the land is wholly or partly located or to
the clerk of the county to which such county may be attached for
judicial purposes and include therein such land as may have
heretofore been forfeited and remains unsold and on which valid
oil and gas applications have not been filed. Within sixty days
after a list of such forfeited land was forwarded to the proper
clerk the owner or part owner mentioned in the preceding section,
who may desire to repurchase such land as provided herein,
shall advise the said commissioner of such desire and pay one
cent per acre for each acre such person desires revalued. As soon
as practicable after the receipt of such advice and the one cent
per acre by the commissioner, he shall proceed to ascertain the
reasonable value of such land and appraise the same accordingly.
Duplicate notices of said appraisement shall be prepared and one
shall be sent to the person requesting the revaluation and the
other shall be retained for the General Land Office. One of two
or more part owners of land who request a revaluation shall be
deemed as having acted for the other owners, and a repurchase
by such one or more persons shall likewise be deemed as made
on behalf of all of them and shall inure to the benefit of every
owner of a part thereof to the extent of each ones ownership. If
such forfeiting owner desires to repurchase the land at the appraised
value placed thereon, he shall file his application therefor
in the General Land Office within ninety days after the date
in the notice of appraisement, together with one-fortieth of the
appraised value and his obligation for the remaining portion of
the purchase price bearing the same rate of interest per annum
as the forfeited purchase bore. The one-fortieth cash payment
and future interest and principal payments and forfeiture for
non-payment shall be the same and conform to the present or
any future law regulating the purchase and forfeiture of public
free school land. The one cent per acre received by the commissioner,
or so much thereof as may be necessary, shall be used by
him to defray the expenses incident to the revaluation and the
remainder, if any, shall be by him returned pro rata to those
for whom it was paid into the General Land Office. If land
should be purchased under this Act by one or more part owners,
such purchase shall inure to the benefit of each and every owner
at date of forfeiture according to each one's former interest.
Section 3. If the owner at the date of forfeiture shall not
exercise his right to repurchase, the commissioner shall place the
land on the market for sale in the manner that is now or may
